Alright Mojo...here's the scoop...to the best of my memory (Annie, shut up)
Mary was making a meal of some kind (breakfast I believe) and was looking at the box (of cereal?). She was looking at the little "TM" that you find at the top right corner of any brand name on any product (you know, Trade Mark). And with a puzzled look, stated, "Huh, that TM company sure makes a lot of things."
And BTW, she was at least 19 or 20 (I believe a little older, though) when this happened. I might have forgiven William for this.
Sorry Mars, but no matter how much time goes by, I still laugh out loud when I think of it...but at least you didn't say "Hors d vors" to the lady at your reception site. You were wise enough to keep your fumble within the confines of 41 Springfield Rd.

What, am I some kind of hillbilly now?
edit, nora!
True, Mary was wise enough not to make such a comment to any of her wedding planners...but I think Cy kind of killed that accomplishment with his toast at the ACTUAL wedding.
Not bad Nora, not bad at all.
It was Thanksgiving, a bag of candy and Marsy was out of college. But then, a few details askew renders this well within your TM fashion of telling stories. Appropriate, I think.
So, as I am impressed with your delivery AND how much you remembered, you definitely get a pass for this one!
It's a shame I can't hate you for being right, Ann. Although (and this is not in my defense, because Wow!) I don't think the food item really matters. I mean, you could really name just about anything, and theoretically Mars would have made the comment.
Am I right?
Well, they do make so many things... yes, it's true. And can you blame her?
