I don't know the origin for sure, but Tom Waits said it to Barth Gimble/Martin Mull on Fernwood Tonight. The scene went like this, see below. Tom also appearred on a comedy album of Martin's playing a bartender and when Martin asked, hey bartender can I get some help over here.............hold your horses, I'm busier than a pair of jumper cables at a Puerto Rican wedding, No offense to my Puerto Rican brothers.
