The Andrews Sisters and Bing Crosby sang a rollicking version of Anything I Can Do from Annie Get Your Gun. It contains the following line:
Anything you can lick, I can lick faster.
All I can say is....well done, Sister Sufragette.
(Don't believe me? It's on this playlist. Listen for yourself.)
And thus, on that rather entendre'd note...I'm off to Boston for 3 days on someone else's dollar. I love being a celebrity.

I always liked that song.
The "sister suffragette" one, I mean. :)
Have fun in Boston!
just passin through
I'm thinking they meant "lick" as in beat or overcome. Perhaps.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
It's fun to listen to old songs, watch old shows....read old books...especially ones containing things that would now be considered "politically incorrect."
Boston, huh? Sounds nice! Enjoy!
