Song parody joke >

This joke is adapted from Riana:

Q. What does a Supreme Court justice who reviews laws subject to free speech challenges eat for dinner?

A. Thyme, plaice, and manna.

(They ask us: What is plaice? We tell them: "Plaice \Plaice\, n. [F. plaise, plais, prob. fr. L. platessa flatish, plaice. See Place.] (Zoöl.) (a) A European food fish (Pleuronectes platessa), allied to the flounder, and growing to the weight of eight or ten pounds or more. (b) A large American flounder (Paralichthys dentatus); called also brail, puckermouth, and summer flounder. The name is sometimes applied to other allied species. [Written also plaise.]" (1913 Webster (gcide)))
