“A wireless bra? It was tricky enough; now I need a password?”

A “wireless bra” can’t access the internet, but there are jokes. Jeff Dwoskin - Hashtag Roundup posted on Twitter on October 13, 2013:

“A wireless bra? They weren’t tricky enough, now I need a password?”

A similar joke was posted on Reddit—Dad Jokes on July 12, 2018:

Wife: I think I’ll switch to wireless bras.
Me: Whoa! I would need a password now?
