Time Flies Like an Arrow, Fruit Flies Like a Banana

[Baker, John]

The Yale Book of Quotations notes that there is no reason to believe that this quotation, often attributed to Groucho Marx, was actually said by him and that it appeared on Usenet on 7/9/1982.  In J.A. Barnes, Models and Inpretations:  Selected Essays 167 (1990), it is cited to Oettinger, The Uses of Computers in Science, Scientific American 215(3):  161 - 72 (1966).
