When God made the world, He gave jobs to knights, peasants, and priests—and forgot the whores and the entertainers. So they complained. The result? Harlots got Church patronage, jugglers got tossed some bones, and the moral order of the universe got pantsed in public.

Jean de Condé’s Des putains et des lecheors is divine bureaucracy at its pettiest.
