For this quote:
“Everybody wants to save the Earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.”
-- is correct per Wikiquotes,
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/P._J._O...
-- attributed to All the Trouble in the World (1994)

The same quote is slightly garbled (scroll down, currently 53 likes)
-- this one should be deleted, and the "likes" credited to the correct quote (above) @ 116 likes

It probably will take some time for the number of likes to update.

Peter Tillman | 163 comments Thanks!

Still needs to be attributed to the book:
All the Trouble in the World (1994)
