I've noticed that, if you don't know who said something witty, you're
probably safe to attribute it to:
	1) George Bernard Shaw
	2) Mark Twain
	3) Winston Churchill

and on certain occasions:
	4) Oscar Wilde

except if it contains mangled English, in which case it's:
	5) Yogi Berra
	6) Leo Durocher
	7) Casey Stengel
