Pick up the nearest book to you. Turn to page 45. The first sentence describes your sex life

In a spirit of immense optimism, I picked up the nearest book and it said:
With the middle and upper classes excluded, the army had to fills its ranks with freedmen, dispossessed peasants, city rabble (notoriously bad soldiers, partly because they were undernourished) - and Germans.
I'm not sure this makes me feel optimistic or pessimistic. There are indeed some really gorgeous Germans out there, but I don't know them.
The book is Civilization of the Middle Ages by Norman F. Cantor.
