Once Over Lightly

A CERTAIN BUSINESSMAN had stopped at his favorite watering hole for a few refreshing draughts of brew when he discovered some unmailed letters in his pocket. While depositing them at the nearby post office, he was approached by a little old lady, who asked him whether he would address a postcard for her. He did. Then she asked whether he would mind writing a short message on it for her, and again he obliged. "Is there anything else I can do for you?'' he asked politely.
