"Men seldom make passes / at girls who wear glasses." ~Dorothy Parker
Both of those goofy little rhyming couplets surprised me by having a credited source; the Ogden Nash quote in particular, because I've seen it scrawled on so many bathroom stalls.
I knew Parker said the one, but not that Nash had coined the other. Thanks for the info.
