hahem ... it's a weird joke
Read this about Rabelais
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%E7ois_Rabelais
or here
http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/rabela.htm

Now you know what kind of book Rabelais wrote

My citation is an extract of Gargantua

You know you can't write **** or *** in this BBS because the BBS put *** instead of bad words ...
but it don't work for French and it don't work either of old French

so the citation mean :

Shi ting, pissing, scraping its throat, belching, farting, fu !king, spiting, coughting, sobing, sneezin, snotting...

I did stop here my citation because here Rabelais started to speak of Gargantua meal,wine and sexual life and it was IMO a bit to much even for the French readers
