Quote by Dorothy Parker

He Robert Benchley and I had an office so tiny that an inch smaller and it would have been adultery.

He Robert Benchley and I had an office so tiny that an inch

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that the speaker (Robert Benchley) and the person talking had a very small office space, so small that any further reduction in size would be akin to committing adultery. The remark utilizes exaggeration to highlight the cramped conditions in a lighthearted way, suggesting the limited physical space they had to work in.
