Agreed, though I don't believe that's the context I first heard it.
I've run across the Vonnegut variant more recently. I don't recall where or when I heard the earlier version for the first time, though I suspect it came up in conversation without attribution. Likely sometime ~1980 -- 1999.
That variant may well trace to Vonnegut, though I suspect it had been passed through numerous mouths and ears by the time I heard it.
