Parker anyone?

[Cinnabar]

"Dorothy Parker - American writer and poet, best know for her caustic wit, wisecracks, and sharpe eye for the 20th Century urban foibles"

Enjoy! One of my favorite broads. So, here she goes...

1) Money cannot buy health, but I'd settle for a diamond wheel chair.

2) It serves me right for keeping all my eggs in one bastard said when leaving the hospital after an abortion

3) When asked to use to word "horticulture" during a game of Can-You-Give-Me-a-Sentence... Parker replied: You can lead a hore to culture, but you can't make her think.

4) I like to have a Martini, two at the very most. After three I'm under the
table, after four I'm under the host.

5) You can't teach an old dogma new tricks.

6) Wit has truth in it, wisecracking is simply calisthentics with words.

7) I don't care what's written about me as long as it isn't the true.

Always Laurie

Oh, she drank with many at the Algonquin Hotel in NYC, with Alexander Woollcott, Robert Benchly, other jouranlists and editors, even Ruth Gordon (who I loved in "Harold and Maude"). Their "Alqonquin Round Table" was exclusively roped off (a red velvet) to seperate themselves from the "others." They would go there for lunch hour and never return to work. Dorothy drank herself to death and her ashes were left in her accountant's drawer (Sad. But I think she'd have it no other way!) ... When living in the city, I frequented the Alonquin but was never so witty as to be "roped off". With friends, some snappy talk and spilled drinks...
Glad you liked it! Always Laurie
