Roughly 24 hours later, he reached Philadelphia, where the pealing of what eventually became known as the Liberty Bell drew a crowd of 8,000 who would learn that war had begun

Why so long? those darn Joisey Troopers pulled him over, ticketed him and made him stand before the judge in Newark! He was bailed out by a Revolutionary friend Antonio "Subito" Soprano who urged Isreal and his steed onward with a slap on his behind and a call, "Bada Bing!"

Nah, he got stuck in traffic at a ten cart pile up in New Haven. Even in 1776, people could not understand the idea that, "Thou shalt Merge." This was supposed to be listed as one of the Intolerable Acts of King George:

"He has built Royal Highways which suck."

Historians and civil engineers believe that Jefferson left it out of the Declaration of Independence because he knew that no one would ever build a decent road between New York and Boston.
