I have seen this phrase in several places, but cannot find the origin of the phrase. Where is it from?

It could well be a riff on the more famous, "The beatings will continue until morale improves"

I thought it was an upside down version of "the beatings will continue until morale improves."

Oh that's it.. no wonder why I couldn't find it. I didn't have enough coffee this morning.
