Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“I require only three things of a man. He must be handsome, ruthless and stupid.” — Dorothy Parker
(I wonder if she would settle for two outta three? Dorothy was very intelligent, with a very sharp tongue. I think she would probably tear me to pieces! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“This novel is not to be tossed lightly aside, but to be hurled with great force.” — Dorothy Parker
(Don’t dance around the issue, Dottie! Wha’d ja think of my book? It’s not often that we get the word “hurled” in the Cryptoquote. Or “tossed” for that matter. Fun quote! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is merely calisthenics with words.” — Dorothy Parker
(Okay. Just so long as that wit . . . fits, with your preconceived notions. Otherwise, it’s all calisthenics with words. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Four be the things I’d been better without: love, curiosity, freckles, doubt.” — Dorothy Parker

(Both; too poetic, and too lazy . . . for my taste. Too poetic because I thought there was some kind of mis-print in the beginning of the cryptoquote. People haven’t spoken this way since Elizabethan times. Too lazy because love, curiosity and doubt are essential for growth. Sure, all can cause a certain amount of pain. But, hey! No pain, no gain. Right? Even freckles! They help you to develop a kind of thicker skin. And, they generally fade as you get older anyway. The line may rhyme, but it just doesn’t resonate. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The only useful thing I ever learned in school was that if you spit on your eraser it will erase ink.” — Dorothy Parker

(Does this actually work??? I had never heard of this little trick before. Maybe, it only works with those older fountain pens? Can anyone out there verify this for us? I’d appreciate it. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
PS. Enjoy this *bonus* other Dorothy Parker! — YUR

(This age could sorely use a great broad like Dottie P. Somebody out there start a new Algonquin Round Table, will ya! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The only dependable law of life: everything is always worse than you thought it was going to be.” — Dorothy Parker
(Kind of a variation on Murphy’s Law! I wonder which came first? This quote, or Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.? Hmm!) — YUR
