"If We Had Bacon..." Origin

[Lodestone]

I was explaining the saying,

"If we had bacon, we could have bacon and eggs... if we had eggs." to a Thai I work with and she wanted to know where it came from. I said, I didn't know but I'd check. Google turns up about 5 pages of results including one from 1997 ( http://www.usnews.co...hive_005986.htm ) but no real source that I could see. I would have guessed it was from a TV show or movie, but not too recent, as it seems to go back a ways. Anyone know where it comes from?
