What he really said

Benjamin Franklin’s birthday was last Friday.

I talked about some of his fun inventions on Friday’s podcast, and I won’t repeat that here. Instead, I want to expand one of his quotes.

On Facebook, I saw several memes of the following quote.

That is only the back half of that quote. I think the entire quote is much more poignant and meaningful. Plus, it’s a little gross.
