And to screw you with scarcely a nod.
When I said I hate fish
And I asked for a dish
Of spaghetti, instead I got scrod. Based on the suggestion: “'scrod' as a pluperfect subjunctive”
From this joke: A traveler who is a huge fan of seafood arrives in Boston for the first time. He leaves the airport and hails a cab. After he gets in, he excitedly says to the cabbie, "Hey, I'm new in town. Can you tell me a good place to go to get scrod?" The cabbie replies, in a thick Boston accent, "Pal, I've got to congratulate you. I've heard that question a lot over the years, but that's the first time I've ever heard it in the pluperfect subjunctive."
