    Can also contort it back into still kinda working the wrong way around by interpreting “have” as in consuming it, like synonym for eat.

    Have you had your cake yet?

    No?

    Have it now.

    Have your cake.

    Had it?

    Good.

    Now eat it…

    Cant?

    Already had it.

    … Cleverly unwrongs it.

    Would be simpler if just said “cant eat your cake and have it”.

    Or was.

    Before I just brought up “have”'s ability to be a synonym for eat.
