Had to look her up
Interesting woman.
There’s a story (possibly apocryphal, but I really want it to be true) that when she was introduced to Chico Marx at a party, the first thing Marx said to her was, ‘I would love to fuck you.’
She answered, ‘And so you shall, you dear old-fashioned boy.’

I get a bit of a Dorothy Parker vibe.

Isn't that line in the short sci-fi story or (poem?) where an Earth dad is talking to his daughter about dating a Martian (said Martian having had four arms in that story)?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I think she was an airhead blonde on some TV show...
Yes, that one.

Of course I get a splinter in a finger on my right hand. Using my left hand to dig out a tiny splinter was a new exercise in 'damn that hurts'.

I used to know a fellow woodworker who didn’t believe in digging out splinters. He would let them get infected, the squeeze the splinter out along with the pus.
Haven’t heard from him in years. I suspect he died of gangrene.
