Merely an exaltation of lark-ing re-Marx.

Then there's the apocryphal story of Erich Mariah Remarque, author of All Quiet on the Western Front. He was pacing outside the delivery room, only to be interrupted by the good sister, who said, "Herr Remarque, you have a healthy baby boy."

Minutes later, she returned and said, "You have healthy twin babies."

Then some ten minutes later, she reported, "You have healthy triplets."

The poor man gasped, "Surely that last Remarque was uncalled for."

Since this would not properly translate into German to keep the pun, I assume it's not true.
