Trivial Pursuits

At the hostel in East Glacier Village, A couple of young(ish) Texans were asking each other questions from the box as a way of killing time.
The question:- Who Said 'Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.'
The person didn't have a clue so as a a hint was told 'It was the person who invented the lightbulb'.
'Ahh, I know that she exclaimed excitedly - It's Thomas Jefferson'
I have to admit to bursting out laughing (as did the questioner) and that was the end of that game.
