Reminds me of a joke in Reader's Digest that ended with the narrator's
mother  saying "Son, if you are going to be a soldier, you are going to have
to learn to sit like a lady."  

Later I read an article in Writer's Digest -- oops, it was "The Writer"; let
parallel lead me astray, there -- explaining how the author recycled the
joke into an article that sold for so much money that the check for the
joke, when it finally arrived, was the cherry on top.  He did *not* mention
that he had then re-sold the material to The Writer!
