I cheated on this one

Anything over three words and I'm struggling. Hence, the quote below is taken from my address book (where it was written when Shirley Temple was still in diapers).
'I know you believe you understand what you thought I said, but I am not sure you realise what you heard is not what I meant.'
Any ideas who said it? Why? And can I use it with the IRS?
It was that well known individual known as 'Anon.'

I know that you believe
you understand
what you think I said,
But I am not sure you realise
that what you heard
is not what I meant. (Anon.)

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
