Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
— Seen on a General Dynamics bulletin board. It was Mark Twain who said, “Never try and teach a pig to sing. It’s a waste of your time, and it annoys the pig.”
Wasn’t it Robert Heinlein who said “Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.”
” It was Mark Twain who said, “Never try and teach a pig to sing. It’s a waste of your time, and it annoys the pig.””
I’m pretty sure Mark Twain never said that. He was better educated than that.
He MIGHT have said, “Never try TO teach a pig to sing.”, but he wold never have said, ” “Never try AND teach a pig to sing.”
