[Shiver Metimbers]

I'll kick it off with the hilarious letter of Ben Franklin (Abbe Franklin) to Abbe Morellet, written during his tenure as US Ambassador to France.

I have been unable to rediscover a facsimile of the original letter, nor one with both the text and drawings, so the following is compiled and edited from different sites.

Enjoy!

Outstanding!  I will now savor and enjoy even more every sip of wine, the nectar of God, knowing His intentions in creating this wonderful drink to lead mankind out of the morass of ignorance by uncovering that elusive truth.  Thank you for this!

Glad you enjoyed it, and 'even more every sip of wine.' Bummer about the pre-wine peoples.

My grandfather had something similar to say about drinking water: "You crazy? You do know that fish do all their business in that, doncha?"

I added the missing link to the English translation site with other letters, sorry for the initial omission. Good discussion in there with Gout.
