- aidenn0 2y agoSame thing. From Wikipedia: "The pluperfect (shortening of plusquamperfect), usually called past perfect in English"
- 8bitsrule 2y agoAnother especially funny part of that joke for me is that this is set in Boston (which has a couple of important colleges) ... because someone once told me that a lot of post-graduates of that college I was attending were driving taxicabs in that city.
