Yeah... Could be... Maybe..??

There is some question about the origin..... I have never found anything that completely answers the "who said" question. It has been attributed to several sources. I think a lot of the attributions are 'guesses" honestly.  The most popular 'source' seems to be Mark Twain, but a lot of sayings are attributed to him. It DOES sound like something Mark Twain would say.......  I've also seen Lincoln and a couple others listed as a source.

Maybe I'll spend a little time on it sometime....... maybe.
