   This was done by Pat Oliphant back in 2004 in homage to Richard… pay more attention next time before attempting a smarmy comment.

   I’m a great admirer of Benjamin Franklin. I even carry pictures of him in my wallet.

   Snerk! Oliphant’s tribute is wickedly satirical.

   Not just a “tribute”, it’s Pat Oliphant’s Introduction to the “Richard’s Poor Almanac” collection (hence the “turn this page” at the end).

    Franklin was known as a wit himself. Nice introduction. Flattering too.
