I think the 'Lithuanian scullery maid named Fred'is the most likely answer Randy because who else could write all that gobbledygook .My dad once brought home some William Shakespeare books so that I could enhance my education.I only read one page and I fell asleep.He took them back the next day.

Very nice, Jim. Presuming that you toured the Bard's birth home, what did you think of the wallpaper in his bedroom? Would have scarred me for life. But he didn't turn out too bad, eh?
