Probably from Anthony Oettinger who used it as an example of challenges in artificial intelligence (AI). I encountered it in a graduate level course entitled "Natural Language Syntax Analyzers" in the late 60s; might have encountered it a couple of years prior. Extremely primitive parsers in that coursework by today's standards.

"Gentlemen, Chicolini here may talk like an idiot and look like an idiot. But don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot." -- Groucho, "Duck Soup"
