As to your question, I have no idea. I saw it in two different places within a two day period before I started using it. Neither place credited a source or auther. One was a calligraphy in a frame and the other was on a tiny card the size of a business card that I purchased and now use as a bookmark. Abby ---

The Glen Campbell song youā€™re thinking of is ā€œGentle on my Mindā€. It was actually written by the late John Hartford. This phrase comes from somewhere else. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Chronos \* > Ten pages appears to be the limit that the board can handle gracefully, so thatā€™s usually where we lock them. Not that itā€™s ever happened in GQ. The [May 33rd thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=44967) did come close, though. It made it to 7 pages, and it only stopped there because it was locked to protect the server. ---
