    Ozzie owes this clever, ostensibly original line in part to the early 20th Century American poet (was it Ogden Nash?) who wrote a poem which consisted entirely of these words, in this order:

    "Candy is dandy
    But liquor is quicker."

    he stole someone else's lines, changed a few words, and passed it off as his. a cheater's way of plagerizing. he's a freak anyway.
