"Fish in Boston"
A Chicago salesman on a business trip to Boston had
a few hours to kill before catching a plane home.
Remembering an old friend's advice to try some
broiled scrod, a favorite fish in Boston, he hopped into
a cab and asked the driver,
"Say, do you know where I could get scrod around here?"
The driver replied, "Pal, I've heard that question a
thousand times, but this is the first time, ever, in the
passive pluperfect subjunctive."
