Candy is dandy by Zvi A. Sesling

Candy is dandy
But liquor is quicker
--Ogden Nash


I dated her three times and couldn’t even so much as get a good night kiss. When I failed on the fourth and fifth dates I decided that on the sixth I would try a different approach, and bought her a Margarita followed by glass of chardonnay at the Blossom Bar. That seemed to work. Not only did I get the kiss, I got a bunch of them, followed by an invitation to spend the night.
It reinforced my feeling that while Candy is dandy, the liquor made her quicker.
