So, nearing the end of the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin, who's in his 80's, is in Paris, negotiating for arms and money from the French, along with John Adams. Adams' wife Abigail travels to Paris to be with her husband.
Anywho, they're out one night and discover Franklin *ahem* compromising not one, but two fair maidens young enough to be his granddaughters.
Mrs. Adams asks her husband, "Just what does Franklin think he's doing?"
Adams' reply: "He calls it 'diplomacy'."
Rock on, Dr. Franklin.

This is why I have always liked older men. Their tenacity alone is awe-inspiring!

Ben is a hero of mine...people don't know how many everyday things were inspired by his crazy ideas.
