The quote doesn't look like Swift's style of English; so I read that buzzkill article. What buzzkill attributes to Swift isn't the quote (or its origins), but the sentiment. Swift has nothing to say about how long it takes to put on shoes.

That style of English looks to me like Twain.



Well the article also says there is no evidence Mark Twain ever said it.
