examples of medieval humor from your country or time period, be it
brilliant or bawdy.  Come and learn some new ones!  If you know
geographical or historical reasons why some jokes, songs, or stories came
to be funny, come prepared to talk about them!  Listeners welcome…  (Be
prepared with an alternative, non-bawdy story if young ones are there.)
