It was ever thus:

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

lol it’s “boots,” but I like pants better. Makes the truth seem so much cooler ‘cause it was fuuuuuuuuuckin

See, even quotes with errors in them get upvoted before someone can come along and correct them :)

Ah, so one of those clever case-in-point lemmy comments. Very clever. Your plan was masterful

[–] Tolstoshev 20 points 7 months ago

Nah, even my retcon explanation is a lie. I copied the quote from some famous quote website and didn’t catch the error.

Especially if you are using the word "pants" the way that Churchill would have.
