BIRTHDAY

Dorothy Parker, one of the wittiest writers who ever lived, was born on this date in 1893.
Some of her great lines include:

• "I don't care what's written about me as long as it isn't true."
• "If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised."
• "If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to."
• "Take care of the luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves."
• "The best way to keep children at home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant---and let the air out of the tires."
• "That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgement."
