Looks like Heinlein coined the phrase.

Except that book was written in 1985. Your thread puts the saying in the 1940's. I think it is just a well known saying we didn't know about. LOL.

You're sooooo smart! I love your sequential thinking . . .

Anyway, thanks to all of you for your efforts . . . I think I'll sleep tonight. It means a lot to be able to ask questions without someone yelling out, "what a Moron! Did you just step off of a turnip truck! Go back to Pascagoula!" Thank you . . . your very kind. ;^)

I'll wait to see if I7 has any input but I think you three covered it.
