"An/This Englishman walks into an Irish pub. He goes up to the bar and..."

Which Englishman?
It doesn't matter -- any old Englishman.
So not {le glico} then?
No.
So {lo glico}?
Well, no, because its quantifier should bind only what is within its scope,
yet throughout the rest of the joke, "he" and "le glico" refer back to the
Englishman.
So what we need is a way to indicate an existential quantifier that has scope
over an entire text?
Yes.
And how do we do that?
I've no idea. I'll ask The List.
