c.1925  The origin of this line is disputed; it has been attributed to Billy Wilder, Charles Butterworth,  Alexander Woollcott and Robert Benchley's press agent. It was used by Mae West in Every Day's a Holiday (1937 film) and by Benchley in The Major and the Minor (1942 film).

You can no more keep a martini in the refrigerator than you can keep a kiss there.
