References

• Mae West's famously misquoted line from She Done Him Wrong was "Why don't you come up some time and see me?" (usually misquoted as "Why don't you come up and see me sometime?"). She was a contemporary of Shirley Temple's in the movie business, but an adult (known for her impressive bosom, aggressive personality, and tendency to infuriate the censors) when Shirley was a child star.
• A Shirley Temple is a real-life non-alcoholic drink made with ginger ale and grenadine, garnished with a maraschino cherry.
• Mae West reputedly said "A hard man is good to find," which is a risque play on the saying "A good man is hard to find."
• The word 'liquor' is also a ribald verbal pun.
• Description refers to the actual drink "whiskey on the rocks," where "on the rocks" is a standard bartender term for a drink with ice.
