"Stop digging."

[Jonathan Lighter]

>From GB snippets:


1986 Robert Fritz _The Path of Least Resistance_  (Salem, Mass.: DMA) 30:
The President of DMA, Inc., Dr. Kalen Hammann, has said, "if you find
yourself in a hole, stop digging." If you prematurely attempt to make the
shift to the orientation of the creative, motivated by the discomfort of
circumstantial stimuli, you are merely digging yourself into a deeper hole.

WorldCat shows a 1984 edition that GB does not.  Innumerable RGs, others
with "when."

A popular anti-Obama slogan.  Read the post, watch the commercial!
