Amos: Do I get a prize for being the first person to recognize The Wyf of Bath's Tale? I see your version is a bit cleaned up and "politically correctified" compared to the original.

I remember studying the Canterbury Tales in high school. The excerpts in our textbook were, of course, the relatively clean ones, or else cleaned up versions. In the Miller's Tale, for instance, they had Alison put her head out the window instead of "hir naked ers," which spoils a lot of the humor. I discovered, however, that some of the real Canterbury Tales were quite bawdy, and I had a good time reading them and retelling them to my friends on our lunch breaks. My personal favorite was The Reeve's Tale.
