Off-topic, but like a lot of quotes attributed to Twain, there’s no evidence he said that. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/01/12/history-rhymes/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/01/12/history-rhymes/

  As Mark Twain also said, "A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on." Of course he didn't say that one either: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/07/13/truth/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/07/13/truth/

    But he did call Mae West "my little chickadee", right?

      I'm pretty sure Mark Twain wasn't around to say anything about internet exchanges.
