Jayne,
You're right.
In fact, I thought my version up quite independently, due to a hasty misreading of the one you quoted:
'Tell me, where is Fancy bred?'
'Aisle No. 3 on the left,' he said.
Skimming over it with my usual 3-second attention span, I had assumed that it was referring to an aisle in the horse-breeder's stables, and that "Fancy" was a potential Grand National winner. That's why I thought my version was completely different, and believed the "bred/bread" joke to be "a poor, ill-favoured thing, but mine own".
But no harm is done, as I wasn't intending to submit it anyway.
