It's similar to your scarecrow joke. Obviously he's referring to the Latvian word for shoe, which can also mean 'farming implement', but if you're a bit of a chav in Latvia and you go up to a girl and saying 'farming implement' it means 'do you want to sleep with me?' So obviously Mark was being ironic when he said 'yes' because as we all know he's sleeping with his girlfriend tonight.
