“To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.”
I decided this week to go with another quote from American comedian Steven Wright.
Written for Linda G. Hill’s One-Liner Wednesday prompt.
One-Liner Wednesday — Plagiarism
This, That, and the Other 
I do research all the time.

Depending (possibly) upon when this was said, either a preacher [from Canada and, previously as well as currently, a physicist] I saw stole this idea from Steven for a laugh in the pulpit — or it was already a known quip in academia (or it’s kinda obvious, and easily arrived at, although one is supposed to give citation to some extent).

I don’t know if Steven Wright said it first, but he’s the one I know about.

I think I’ve heard him say it. It’s funny every time.
