During the height of American literary sensation Dorothy Parker's fame, an editor for the New Yorker magazine kept trying to pressure her into writing for him. She kept refusing. Eventually, the hapless editor asked her why she wouldn't write for the New Yorker. She said, "I'm too fucking busy and vice versa."
