“A bra and a set of jumper leads walk into a bar…” (bar joke)

“A guy walks into a bar…” is a typical form of what has been called the “bar joke.” A bra version is:
 
“A bra walks into a bar and asks for a beer. The bartender says, ‘I can’t serve you. You’re off your tits.”
 
“Off my/your tits” means to be very drunk. The joke has been cited in print since at least 2002. “A bra walks into a bar.  Bartender says ‘Thank you for your support’” was posted on Twitter on April 9, 2008. “A bra walks into a bar.  Bartender says ‘We don’t serve bras in here.’  Bra says ‘But I brought my own cups!’ #dadumching” was posted on Twitter on December 6, 2010.
   
The joke often includes “jumper leads” also walking with the bra into a bar, and the bartender fears that someone “off their tits” will “start something.” “A jumper cable walks into a bar…” is a related joke.
 
A battery is sometimes added to the joke. “A bra, car battery and some jumper cables walk into a bar…” was posted on Reddit—Jokes on January 17, 2014.

“Sorry mate”, the barman says “but I can’t serve you.”
 
“Why not?” the bra says.

31 January 2003, New Zealand Truth (Auckland, New Zealand), “The Porkbone Kid,” pg. 2:
A BRA and a set of jumper leads walk into a bar. “We’ll have three glasses of Lion Red,” says the bra to the barman. “No way,” says the barman. “Why?” asks the bra.  “Because you’re off your tits and your friends look like they might start something.”
