Calvin Coolidge and his wife toured a poultry farm. When Mrs. Coolidge saw that there was only one rooster, she asked how many times he performed each day. "Dozens," the guide replied.
"Tell that to Mr. Coolidge," she said.
When the guide told Coolidge, he asked "The same hen, or a different one each time?" "Always a different one," the guide told him.
Whereupon the President replied...
"Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge."
Dorothy Parker's great rival was Claire Booth Luce.
At one point they, with their escorts, reputedly arrived simultaneously at a New York night spot. Miss Luce, with a poisonous smile, offered Miss Parker the opportunity to go first, saying
"Age before beauty."
Whereupon Parker replied
"Pearls before swine," and sailed through the door.
