For some reason, to-day my grandmother was trying to peddle Bill O'Reilly's book off on my aunt as my aunt was trying to walk out the door. My grandmother said something about O'Reilly's relationship with Cardinal Law and I piped in "Wouldn't it be funny if there was a Marshal Law?"
My aunt said, "The Marshal Law? There is a Marshal Law, it's called the Marshal Plan."
My grandmother said, "No, Cardinal Law is a person."
I said, "Yeah, I know. I'm saying what if he were in the military--like, Marshal's a rank in the military. And there's also m-a-r-t-i-a-l for Martial Law. Like when there's a police state."
"The Marshal Plan," said my aunt, nodding.
My grandmother said, "No, he means martial arts."
I gave up at that point.
