Or as it was admirably rendered in Beatlese, "Goo Goo Gajoob."
Of course you do realize we have a problem here: they canonized the fella.
Not that that was a real impediment; a church known for discounting
legitimately elected pontiffs and recognizing rank usurpers can do anything.
Maybe it was all a misunderstanding: our blubbery friend was on the second
page of the "Damnation" list but it got mixed up with the "Canonize" list.
Pope Lando told the bumbling scribe not to carry the two simulatneously, but
what can you do?
Well mistakes do happen. I've always had a feeling, for instance, that
Einhard the biographer of Charlemagne, got his job in Aachen by mistake. His
obsession with the great king's shirt and shoe size betray his origins as a
tailor. Old Charles was probably a bit hard of hearing when Einhard showed
up. The king asked the young man what he wanted and Einhard replied that he
was there to measure for new clothes. The king thought he said he was there
to take notes. I wonder what happened to the new scribe; probably the origin
of the "Emperor's New Clothes."
Well, that is enough for this April Fools Day. Cheers
