"Getting your leg over" is a quaint olde english expression for making
luuuuurve.
eg: "Did you get your leg over last night Terry?" "Why aye Bob, she was
clamming for it"
So it's possible it's a not very funny joke relating to this.
Altenatively, we have some quite oddly named beers over here - eg Bishop's
Finger, Old Frog's Eyelashes - so it could be the name of a beer.

I need some help folks .... I just got a post card from a lady at work.
Daleside Brewery, Yorkshire..... Picture of an old guy with a walking cane
in
one hand and a beer in the other. One leg one the ground and one leg in
the
air. In big font it reads "Old Leg Over" It is supposed to be some kind
of
English slang / joke .... what the heck does it mean? I'd appreciate any
insight!!! Thanks!
