Maybe Fred has this, but others might find it piquant.

1931 Ben Hecht, Seton I. Miller, et al. _Scarface_ (film): In this business
there's only one law you gotta follow to stay out of trouble: "Do it first,
do it yourself, and keep on doing it!"

Well over 2000 RGs.  However, it doesn't always work.
