happy dorothy parker's birthday

Now this should be a national holiday. Mrs. Parker would be 112, if she were still alive.

Why not read her Paris Review interview to celebrate? Meanwhile:

Résumé

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

    May be his ability to come up with the killer sarcastic oneliner is a zodiacal thing...
