Nice link!

I may actually have mis-attributed it. Though I thought it was Knuth (and maybe it was), in this article: Structured Programming with Go Go Statements. But since it's a pdf representation of a scan, I can't easily search for the quote therein. Dijkstra did also use it here: On a Cultural Gap.

I'm going to have to re-read that Knuth article though; I was almost certain that's where I saw it first.
