        Hahah! I'm one of today's lucky 10,000! :) Down the rabbit-hole with me now to discover who said it first... LOL! (Edit: Proving to be a fruitless quest thus far. Nobody seems to know.)

    Glad I clicked that Wikipedia link! Chinese curse... I'd always been told it was an old Bedouin curse. Learn somethin' new every day (still to this day, and every new day until I become physically incapable of learning).

      For years I had heard it was an Arab curse, which is partly why I’m sharing.

        And I got it as a Roman curse (or from Roman times). That is common with old sayings.
