Are you kiddin' me? That dean got off way too easy. What's the point of being a wizard if you don't turn shitheads like that into toads?

Up until I heard the ending I was going to say that's what the wizard gets for being a toe-kisser.
What did he expect from the Catholic Church? Sincerity?, honesty?, Compassion?
Jesus weeps.
I need me some of those partridges.
Great story and telling, Geoff. Thanks.

Enjoyed the story, not heard that one before.

Thank you all for watching.

When I was poking around the web for medieval images of partridges I learned that, traditionally, partridges were considered untrustworthy. They were supposed to steal the eggs from other birds' nests instead of laying their own (as you can see in the illustration I used). So I'm guessing there are other little details in the story that would have entertained the audience of 700 years ago.
