The quote is more like..” well then if you don’t like that then go get me ham sandwich and hold the Mayo” said to her neighbor who was taken aback when she asked

I was speaking to someone who’s studying Dorothy Parker as part of their D.Phil. at the moment the other day – she says her current favourite is DP saying – on seeing another guest stumble at party while holding a martini – “I think there’s vermouth, loose about this hoose” (Lord Rockingham’s XI song ‘Hoots mon’ having recenly been a hit in the UK charts).
