Unfortunately not.

Trying to find where I got my version from just brought me back to one of my own comments on Hacker News from 8 months ago:

> "your dog is juggling, filing taxes, and baking a cake, and rather than be impressed it can do any of those things, you're complaining it drops some balls, misses some figures, and the cake recipe leaves a lot to be desired". - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39170057

I couldn't remember where I got it from then either.

He is adapting one of Samuel Johnson's most famous quotations, about the astonishing sight of seeing a woman preaching - like a dog walking, it may not be done well, but it's astonishing to see it done at all.
