“Bar & Bra. Same letters, different words, but both keep men waiting eagerly till they open”

“Bar & Bra. Same letters, different words, but both keep men waiting eagerly till they open” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The saying was posted on Twitter by “@simonGor9976” on April 24, 2017, but probably began with an image.
