It seems to be Whately. And he hardly has any Google results... weird

"Whately’s personality and behaviour did nothing to win over his critics. He was pompous and overbearing, and had little patience with lesser minds. He debated rather than conversed and always had to have the last word. Puns, quips, riddles, word-play and aphorisms were the stuff of every gathering, and the experience could be excruciating for his colleagues. ... "... This quip from Whately gained wide currency: “Why cannot a man starve in the great desert? Because he can eat the sand which is there. But how did the sandwiches get there? Noah sent Ham and his descendants mustered and bred.” ...
