    Gramatical Sex

    A businessman arriving in Boston for a convention found that his first
    evening was free, and he decided to go find a good seafood restaurant that
    served Scrod, a Massachussetts specialty.

    Getting into a taxi, he asked the cab driver, "Do you know where I can get Scrod around here?"

    "Sure," said the cabdriver. "I know a few places... but I can tell you it's not often I hear someone use the third-person pluperfect indicative anymore!"
