Definitions by A handle not already used

I thought "salty" only very recently acquired this meaning (see the other entries). However, I came across it in a book published in 1969 "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A. Heinlein near the top of page 32.
'Don't jump salty, beautiful"
I thought it came from the old joke,

You: What winks and fucks like a tiger?"

Them: "I don't know."
You: wink and make a tiger noise.
"What winks and fucks like a tiger?"

"I don't know."
"Rawr."
