... I'd do more business? Why didn't I think of that?

Mark Twain called golf "A good walk spoiled."

He first used that line in 1970, I think it was, for a cartoon about Earth Day. Pogo and Porkypine where tip-toeing through trash in the swamp.

For a little historical perspective, Kelly was paraphrasing Commodore Perry's message to W.H. Harrison regarding a naval battle on Lake Erie during the War of 1812, "We have met the enemy, and they are ours."
