Geoffrey Chaucer interviews Margaret Atwood in Middle English:

GC: What maner of writinge ys moost beneficial for the worlde?

MA: That ys beyond my power to saye. Manye bookes have done great harm, but those are of the political-tract kynde. Howevir, those works of invencion and poetrye that containe both laughter and instruccion will more prevail.

Go. Be amused.

Um. That is not Middle English.

Well, no. But you're not supposed to explain the joke.

Ay yi. I have no idea what I was thinking -- not only am I a fan of "Geoffrey Chaucer," Teresa and I are also in the acknowledgements to his book. I can only plead temporary stupidity.

No worries. You can always plead critically low blood caffeine levels.
