“I’ve been to kamp krusty.” Most people know this qoute form the simpsons, but I keep thinking that this is actually based off a real qoute. So I ask, is this based off a real qoute, and if so, what is the original? ---

It is reminiscent of the Marine’s epitaph, found on a Lunga Point grave on Guadalcanal: > [@](#): > > And when he gets to Heaven > To Saint Peter he will tell: > “One more Marine reporting, Sir!” > “I’ve Done My Time In Hell.” “I no longer fear hell…” appears in a lot of places. I am not at all sure where it originated. (It might very well have begun with the Simpsons, as I have not found any really old citations.) It does not appear in Bartlett’s 16th edition and I do not have Bartlett’s 15th (the last before it was seriously “modernized”). ---

The 10th edition of Bartlett’s is available [here](http://www.bartleby.com/100/), but I can’t find anything containing “I no longer fear hell…”.
