"Lo, hear my oath! In me shall truth not lack."
"Now then, come put your hand right down my back,"
Replied this man, "and grope you well behind;
For underneath my buttocks shall you find
A thing that I have hid in privity."
"Ah," thought the friar, "this shall go with me!"
And down he thrust his hand right to the cleft,
In hope that he should find there some good gift.
And when the sick man felt the friar here
Groping about his hole and all his rear,
Into his hand he let the friar a fart.
There is no stallion drawing loaded cart
That might have let a fart of such a sound.
The friar leaped up as with wild lion's bound:
"Ah, treacherous churl," he cried, "by God's own bones,
I'll see that he who scorns me thus atones;

Get the chaucer mug.Second largest city in New Mexico. Home to one of largest pecan orchards in the world and the largest enchilada. The Old Mesilla Plasa showcases our rich history. Beautiful view of the Organ Mountains from the valley. Great weather. Great people. Beautiful sunsets. Amazing mexican food. Overall, Las Cruces is a great place to call home!

Get the Las Cruces, NM mug.Often the one name used in referring to Geoffrey Chaucer. He wrote many famous poems and stories, and was well known to be one of the first men to write officially in the common language, as we now know as Middle English. This was basically unheard of in his day, since any professional and elite writers would only use Greek or even Latin. He refused to use these languages, although he knew them well enough, and opted to write in a language much closer to our modern English than that of Old English.
Famous for: The Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde, The House of Fame, and A Treatise on the Astrolabe.
Read The Miller's Tale (in the Canterbury Tales).. it's hilarious.
