In today's Get Fuzzy, Bucky says "there, but for the gracelessness of dog, goes chai". Is this a reference to a famous quotation? If so, what is it?

  1. John Bradford (1510 - 1555)  was an English Reformer and martyr best remembered for his utterance, "'There but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford." This phrase has survived in common parlance in its variant, "There but by the grace of God go I."  

    The comic plays on this quote by:

    replacing "grace" with "gracelessness"

    rearranging the letters in "God" to get "dog"

    replacing "I" with the rhyming word "chai"
