[Ads-l] Quote: Go jogging? What, and get hit by a meteor?

[ADSGarson O'Toole]

Back in March 2017 the saying in the subject line was discussed on
this mailing list. Now the Quote Investigator website has an article
on this topic:

Great thanks to Geoffrey Nunberg whose inquiry led QI to formulate
this question and perform this exploration. Special thanks to top
researcher Peter Reitan who found the 1952 citation which pointed to
the book "Merely Colossal".

Feedback welcome
