I was quite certain this was going to be from baseball great Satchel
Paige, but it clearly appears to come from the University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill. You can tell everyone there if you wish, and
perhaps some day the quotation collections will catch up and assign
some credit.

Also, have some french fries (entry from six years ago):
