So I walk up to her and say, "Ma, we gotta talk."
And she never looks up from the TV, and she says, "Not during Homemakers' Jamboree, Marvin."
And I say, "Ma, I'm Milton. Marvin is your goniff brother who is serving 6 to 10 for passing bogus bills." (Which he is. He's a great artist, even the judge admitted that, but he just doesn't do his homework, and printing a bunch of twenties with Andrew Johnson's picture on them is probably not the brightest move he ever made.)
Anyway, she says "Marvin, Milton, what's the difference, and did you know that Liz Taylor is getting married again? What is it for her now--the 34th time?"
And I say, "You know, Ma, it's funny you should bring that up."
And she says, "Funny? Okay, Mister Big Shot, tell me what's so funny. Are you the one she's marrying? Go ahead, make my day."
