It was a nice UL, back in the 14th century, when Geoffrey Chaucer first set to parchment a tale that had possibly been circulating orally since the dawn of civilization:
Ther was al o a wyf, ful emely, in tratford dwellynge,
and in hir hous, a payniel
dogg, yclept ``Cocker.'' And it
did pas, on Apryl even, when came hir daye of birth,
þat
everal goode frends to hir, for
porte, did hyde þemelves
amidt hir ofas and lyke furnytur, with lyghts yturnd-off,
one and all. And when hir tep was herd approachynge, the
merrye companie as one lept out, and gan to crie
``Surprie,
thou!'' And ther tood the
goodwyf, full bare, and ymeard
with nut-butere, whitelynge ``Cocker! Here, boye! My
maydenhede thou lyck and wel conerve, anon!''

Now, however, it is no longer nice, but merely old.
