It's an invitation to smuggle drugs to fund a vacation with the proceeds or, if 
unsuccessful, stay somewhere at the expense and insistence of the state.

_Dies_? The criticism wasn't so devastating. What is it with mothers? If the 
smuggling invitation is hers though, long may it now be footered. 

However, passing over in silence the grammatical intrigue of "My grandmother 
dies", in another of JLS's 'three-posts-a-day-per-thread' grammatical 
contentions:-

"Well, yes. And there is a further otiosity in English. The ending -thing in 
"anything", "something", "everything". I hardly see how "thing" has any to do  
with it."

Let's see:
Have you got some - any - to stem the flow the blood?
Is every ok?
I don't know any about it.
There's some in the way she moves, attracts me like no other.
All kinds of every remind me of you.
He didn't have any to do with that murder.
I would give every I have to be able to take a leak without some or any hurting.
