Fair enough. The only time I've seen it in dead-tree print was in 
Heinlein's _Time Enough For Love_, unattributed to anyone else. 
Googlespace seems to be not entirely sure whether "Hanlon" is real or is 
a corruption of "Heinlein". Googling for quote attributions is a tricky 
proposition at best, though.
