Are your ready for some more fractured history? We’ll start with the Middle Ages, when everyone was middle-aged, and end with Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Thanks again to Richard Lederer and his hilarious book, Anguished English. As I’m mentioned before, he has a number of other books that will keep you laughing. Pick one up and tell me if I’m wrong…if you’re able to get the words out while giggling.
Warning!! Do NOT consume hot beverages or even food while reading unless prepared to do laundry and clean up your surroundings. You have been warned!!

Then came the Middle Ages, when everyone was middle aged. King Alfred conquered the Dames. King Arthur lived in the Age of Shivery with brave knights on prancing horses and beautiful women. King Harold mustarded his troops before the Battle of Hastings.
Joan of Arc was cannonized by George Bernard Shaw. And victims of the blue-bonnet plague brew boobs on their necks. Finally, the Magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense.
This, that and the other thing
