Who was it came up with that old saw, "You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar" (or horseradish or vodka or some damn thing)?

Obama's fly didn't die! He has made a miraculous recovery, has an agent and is working on a three-book deal.

Sheesh they got how much money for their research grant to tell me what I've known and could see for years since hunting for flies to swat? Flies also use the compression of the air as you swing to help boost their escape or change direction.
