I'm looking for a funny story to start off my speech about Benjamin Franklin. Is there a website that has funny short stories about him?

Hey Dreambatt,
Here is one:
By the age of 17, Franklin felt like an outcast and wanted to leave Boston, but his family wouldn't allow it. So, he told a ship's captain that he needed to discreetly escape the city because he had "gotten a naughty girl with child" and her friends were trying to force him to marry her. The sympathetic captain snuck the runaway out of town and Franklin ended up in Philadelphia.
and there are more...
