Brevity is the soul of lingerie.

I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most.
After three I'm under the table,
after four I'm under my host.

Dorothy Parker.

Brilliant!

  2. And alas I still search for such a lady. Even though after four I'd be under the floor.

  3. I think she was a raving lefist but I refuse to read that stuff about her.

    She had such a great wit and that is how I choose to remember her.

    Well, unfortunately Luther, I'm sure no such ladies exist any more.

    Although there maybe one or two of us here.

    But then again, we are married.

  6. Parker was exceptional in her wit:

    "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks."

    "It serves me right for keeping all my eggs in one bastard."

    “I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true.”

  9. Oh there is, Fay. I'm just joshing for the most part. But the women here are very special, each and every one in their own unique ways.

  10. I LOVE Dorothy Parker, I have one of her books, she was so wonderful and witty.

    Fay, I looked at the title and wondered what on earth the topic could be, lol.
