Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

Dorothy Parker overlevede selv mindst 4 selvmordsforsøg, mange problemer og et stigende alkoholforbrug, før hun som 73-årig døde af et hjerteanfald. Hun formulerede mange skarpe tekster, uden at holde sig selv udenfor, deriblandt ovenstående digt.
I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most.
After three I’m under the table,
after four I’m under my host.
