Recently, someone on the Net said "You can't have your cake and eat it too". In fact, this is quite possible. The correct expression is: "You can't eat your cake and have it too". Dan Sonnenschein

Which puts me in mind of a 10th rate country song I once heard (about a two timing husband): You Can't Have Your Kate and Edith Too. Sorry, I can't credit the author of this classic, as I never heard her name. Mike Lutz {allegra,seismo}!rochester!ritcv!mjl

No, the correct quotation is "You can't have your cake and Edith, too..." -- Silvio Levy

As any aficianado of Gilbert & Sullivan can tell you, the quote "You can't have your Kate and Edith, too" is a long-standing joke about Pirates of Penzance: Kate and Edith are Mabel's two sisters. -paul asente (decvax, ucbvax, allegra)!decwrl!asente
