Sunday morning and the poker is in the fire. Gotta love these 6 day per week jobs.
Enroute to other things (ETOT) I blundered into the website of Professor Irwin Corey. This guy dates from way back on the timeline.
Professor Corey is credited with numerous quips, among them-
“If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going.”
“Wherever you go, there you are.”
“You can get further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word.”
Corey’s schtick is parody of the egghead elite. He portrays a kind of daffy, absent-minded professor who is forever stuck in lecture mode. He stitches together impressive sounding language into a maze of dead ends leading to a hilarious rhapsody of non sequiturs.
There is probably no relation to the other professor Corey at Harvard.
Lamentations on Chemistry 
If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going.”
An epitaph for the New Hampshire primary election.
I believe that this paradigm that you have elicited has heretofore resulted in the paradox shift of this oxymoron. I pay tribute to the esteemed professor whose loquacious and ubiquitous presence has indemnified our collective unconscious.
Well put.
