Jack, eating rotten cheese, did say,
Like Samson I may thousands slay;
I vow, quoth Roger, so you do.
And with the self-same weapon too.
--Benjamin Franklin

DRINK TO ME ONLY
Drink to me only with thine eyes--
That's one way to economize.

Ha, funny stuff, thanks for posting!
18th-century verse is just so bitchy!
Very amusing...I don't think of Ben Franklin as being funny either.
Who knew? LOL Funny find.
I've gotten the feeling from things I've read that Mr. Franklin was a smartass and a horny old goat. I probably would've really liked him! :-D
But I don't think he really carried a mouse around in his hat....
Although, maybe he DID. Who nose?
