Subject: "Write when you get work"



I know this phrase as a line from Bob and Ray, the great radio comedians

of the 50s and 60s. My wife knows it as a catchphrase of much broader

use, though maybe only subsequent to B&R and therefore possibly

derivative. Does anyone know anything of its history? (Barry, this

sounds right up your alley.)
