Who said it?

W. C. Fields.  (Well, it sounds like something he would say.)

Correct! And damn funny. W.C. Fields was one crazy drunk guy.

ps.  I think you're right about Groucho, although I've heard it attributed
to Will Rogers also.

Yep...it's definately a Groucho thing.

Next, a double header. Two quotes, two folks (Yes, I DO like this sort of
game, as a matter of fact):

"If A equals success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z. X is work. Y is play. Z
is keep your mouth shut."

"When choosing between two evils I always like to take the one I've never
tried before."

Who said it?

Matt
