What Dorothy Parker wrote actually was "Men don't make passes at girls who wear glasses."  I still think my take on it is funnier.  Oh well...

Don't you think I knew that?  You missed the gag entirely!  Shame on you!

Not quite, Burly ... what she actually said was:

Men seldom make passes,
at girls who wear glasses.

Sooooo.
You're a Dorothy Parker fan, eh?  Didn't she say, "girls with no asses usually wear glasses" or something like that.

You'd probably have to be careful though, Corbin, about not jostling your neck too much.
