Talk:Robbing Peter to pay Paul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Did this expression exist before Peter, Paul and Mary? I always thought it was a reference to them.

Yes, the phrase easily predates 'Peter, Paul and Mary'. The phrase is on line 16305 of James Joyce's 1922 edition of Ulysses in the Cyclops episode. Shane.Bell (talk) 10:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
