Ping to self for later reading.
I recall having to memorise the introduction to Canterbury Tales, so this is funny for so many reasons.

You do Iowahawk an Internet injustice by posting the entire piece.
However, it’s funny as hell, as is every Iowahawk post.
This bit says it all:
43 I liketh bigge buttes and I cannot lye,
44 You othere faelows can’t denye,
45 But the council closed my wenching pub,
46 To please the Imams, aye thaere’s the rub.”

It’s true I was unfair to Iowahawk by posting the whole thing. In amends, I ask everybody to go visit the Iowahawk blog, please: there’s much more on the menu, and it’s all so g-o-o-o-d.
