LOL I was just thinking about that.

Some people just can’t cope with the idea that our founders were mortals and Franklin was a wild man.

Good old Benjamin Franklin, always was a font of good, practical advice. 18th century American “cougars” must have liked him a lot.

Yeah, Benjamin Franklin being a “womanizer” IS historically accurate!

I remember one old story is that he liked to sit in his parlor playing the violin while several young, nubile and naked ladies danced for him.
