Two women get into a cab at the airport in Boston. “Where to?” asked the cabbie. One woman was reading about local seafood and said “We’d like to get scrod.”

The cabbie replied, “That’s the first time I’ve heard that used in the pluperfect subjunctive.”

The moral of the story ... if you get an English degree, expect to get a job like cab driver.

I heard William F Buckley tell that joke on Carson one night years ago.
