[Ads-l] Lewis Carroll Misquotes

[Geoffrey Nathan]

Interestingly enough, the article misquotes
one of the quotes, by omitting a crucial morpheme. In the one about
being behind. I recall bumper stickers and cute plaques
to put up in your kitchen or office that actually say

'The hurrieder I go the behinder I get.'

FWIW
