But halfway down the page is this:
Marriage is a wonderful invention; but then again, so is a bicycle repair kit.
Canterbury Tales, Wife of Bath's Prologue
Not very Chaucerian, eh?
So I ran a search on the quote, and it seems to be by Scottish comedian Billy Connelly.
What an odd mix-up.


Ah, now I see where the confusion comes from.

I love Billy Connelly. He needs to play in more movies. Chaucer is only good in supporting roles.
Thanks! I have coffee dripping out of my nose.
Are you suggesting that the wife of Bath didn't have a repair kit for her bicycle? I'm so disillusioned.
I have a theory that Billy Connelly is John Cleese in a fright wig.
