Heard on Springer: "You can't have your cake, and ice cream, too!"

[Wilson Gray]

Only 317 raw hits, but it still bodes ill. Many of the hits are
arguments that the original version makes no sense - this, despite the
fact that it's more transparent than "It's an ill wind [that blows
no(body) good]," my personal favorite among old saws - but could be
made to make sense, with the modification.

(As it happens, Springer's guest spontaneously corrected herself,
after a few seconds.)

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint
to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
