Wording of "baby" quote

[edit]

The article has Drapeau saying that the Olympics "can no more lose money than a man can have a baby." The way I've always heard it is "can no more have a deficit than a man can have a baby." Googling on "than a man can have a baby", I find "have a deficit" used at the CBC, BBC, and New York Times web sites. Those sound like pretty reliable sources, at least when they all agree. But someone got "lose money" from somewhere; is there a reliable source for that too? For example, maybe he said it both ways?

I've just tagged it "citation needed" rather than changing it. --208.76.104.144 (talk) 21:11, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
