Humor for the rengeeks & lit profs among us

Found on metaquotes, written by cavalorn, on the comyng of the frydge:

"7. And it came to pass upon a daye that Cav and Lucy were abiding in the Howse; and there came vunto them two men of labour. And the two men of labour hadde betwixt them a mighty Vessel of Boards; and they did say, where is the Howse vunto which this Frydge must go, for we have brought it many a league vunto thee, yea, even from the place of Frydges have we brought it vnto thee.

8. And the men of labour being brought vunto the rear of that Howse, they did wax dark in the countenance, for the doorway was too narrow to suffer the comyng of so Mighty a Frydge. And manie sore words did they speak. Yea, said they, surely a Camel shall pass through the eye of a Needle ere this bugger goeth through yonder door."

Earlier in his LJ, he has a Chaucerian rewrite of the lyrics to "Shaft."

The Chaucerian Shaft isn't by me - I link to the original author in the post.

Glad you liked the fridgesaga though!

Adored it! Clever sarcastic people with keyboards make my world go 'round.

A woman in that position - abused, then abandoned - made that very case in court, I believe in VA, where the proposed law didn't just discuss "telling" him, it said *she had to have his permission.* Her argument was why should she chase down an abusive man and put herself in the position to be more abused?

Could you possibly help me find a link to that or something that refers to that? If you can, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you

It's not entirely the same case, but the case I was talking about was sometime in the 80s and the details are very fuzzy now!
