True, sort of. Groucho wrote a letter to an exclusive Country Club that excluded Jews as members. They made an exception for Groucho - but he didn’t bite. SO his response was a sarcastic put down of their anti-Semitism. Believe the letter is in the Smithsonian.

It was originally said at least as far back as Groucho Marx, possibly earlier.

Thanks for that history, chasm. I knew Groucho had said it, but didn’t know the story behind it.
