[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

"Life is uncertain, eat dessert first"-
--sign on the Buttercup Bakery Shop, 973 Second Avenue, New York, NY
(known for its cupcakes--ed.)

   This phrase has been used by many bakeries,  Who said it?  Where did it
start?
   Does it comes from a bumper sticker?
   Was it said in 1985 at Yale?
