Oh, I read and almost died laughing PJ's Parliment of Whores book. And I distinctly remember the whiskey and car keys analogy. I was just wondering aloud if in fact PJ coined the term.
In any case, I hardly think Brian Tracy should be discredited for using this colorful analogy without attribution. That's just throwing the baby out with the bathwater! (No, I don't know who first said that...)
