Objection sustained. For I am feeling judgemental, so will act like one.

Objection. Question calls for an enlightening response.

I hate to flaunt my literary background, Doc, but Middle English is words beginning with the letters J through P, right? Those are some of my favorites.

Okay, Shra, but don’t expect me to gloss the dirty words in Middle English.

I see the Canterbury Tale discussion is still on… I may just have to tase all of you… and then go and read this myself…
that is after I finish with Tolstoy…

I think I liked the Wife of Bath. That, and The Miller’s Tale.

The benefit of going to a public school in Indiana – I mean public school in the U.S. sense – was that they gave us a handy list of tales that we were not allowed to read because they were crude and tasteless.

It made the selection process very simple for us.

All those Friday lunches at Chinese restaurants. They thought I was trying to be funny, and they thought I was a funny guy…. ;p

Doc, I feel your pain on the “shiitake”; it took me years to figure out “macabre”.
