Quote of the Day

Scene: The ceiling-to-floor bookshelf in our bedroom. A has just
asked me about a painting on the spine of a book on the Templars.

A: "Why are those guys on fire?" [The Templars are being burned at the stake.]
J: (giving the standard response when A asks this question) "It's complicated."
A: "Do they think their feet are wood?"
J: "Well... that picture is from a long time ago when people thought
it was OK to set other people on fire when they didn't agree with
them."
