It has long been customary, when performing W.S. Gilbert & Arthur Sullivan's operetta The Pirates of Penzance, to include many blatant anachronisms and breaks in the fourth wall. In particular, there is a tradition of adding a verse to the Major General's Song that describes very recent culture or politics. In this 1985 version, it is "I even know how short a time John Turner was Prime Minister." Turner's 11-week term as prime minister (30 June - 17 September 1984) is the second shortest in Canadian history. The shortest was Sir Charles Tupper, in office 1 May - 8 July 1896.
