No, Danikl, it's not "Want to buy an island," WDC 235, and yes, it is a
Barks quote.
What's funny is I really did think you knew the answer right off, and you
were being polite by not solving it immediately, giving others a shot at it.
This, of course, deflated my ego quite effectively, and I spent all weekend
trying to think of other quotes that might stump you! (LOL!)
Here's a fairly good hint from the same story:
"My Bin and my ground and my ways will stay the same forever."
