Now he can plug in his Franklin Stove!

Why do they keep saying that Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity? He showed that ligntning was electricity is what I heard. Electricity was known before this. Even over a hundred years before William Gilbert coined the term after doing experiments.

“Now stick your key in there.”

“Now join me on the couch, you buxom wench.”

Let me show you what I can do with a vacuum.

Ben!! You quit using our throw pillows as an outlet!

And one night he plugged a key in it to invent bifocals so he could enjoy the visual delights of a doxy in his lap and a splendid tart across the room. To what degree was the Age of Reason inspired by low decolletage?

And he is a man who knows his outlets.

“In the letter, which was entitled “Advice to a Young Man on the Choice of a Mistress,” Franklin advised: “In all your Amours, you should prefer old Women to young ones.” He goes on to explain that with older women they tend to have more discretion, will take care of you when you’re sick, are cleaner than prostitutes, and that “there is no hazard of children.” He also offered that you can’t really tell who’s old or young when you’re in the dark."

Franklin got into big trouble playing with electricity as a boy. He could have been severely punished, but fortunately he was just grounded.

Didn’t Ben Franklin have something like 17 illegitimate children? No wonder he’s called the father of our country!
