A veteran's cap and a Walmartian...

Ben Franklin, didn't he invent a stove?



Yep. And bifocal eyeglasses, and discovered electricity while flying his kite in a storm.

Was also a famous printer and philolsopher and our first ambassador to France.

He was the origin of some famous sayings like, "A penny saved is a penny earned."

I think his picture is on $50 bills, but I never have one long enough to be sure. ;)

Franklin also gave his son advice about all cats being gray in the dark but that is probably not a subject for this family-values board.

At the first constitutinal convention, they had just passed a constitution. Ben remarked that he had been thinking about a painting hanging in the building that depicted either a sunrise or a sunset. He commented that he had wondered which. But with the new constitution, he said, "Now I know that (for the nation), it is a rising sun."

Today, I wonder about the rising sun.

TS that would be a $100.00 Bill.;).. Ulysses S. Grant is on a $50.00
 
Been so long since I've seen a Ben Franklin $100 bill it isn't funny.
Walmartians gotta remember that one, some very strange prople have been known to inhabit wally world after dark. Frank
 
John, if you really want a Homeland Security hat, I'll bring one to Phx. for the July Crossroads show. Hugh
 
My kid use to work for ICE and gave me an ICE hat.

Just a hint, don't wear an ICE hat in a fast food restaurant.
 
Should you really be wearing that hat with your CIA shirt and sunglasses?

I was going to say something like that too. He probably thought you were an ex agent of some kind. I've got to try that in Wal-Mart. I wear 5-11 tactical pants and a Hawaiian shirt covering my carry and a digital camo boonie hat with some military pins on it. I'm sure I can get away with doing something like that. Maybe I can get some attention (probably from the cops) by walking around with a box of ammo (If I can find any).:D
 
Plagiarized or not, it's still a good story.

And for me, it brings to mind the punch line of the dog-for-sale joke from a couple days ago,also by Paladin ....:D
