Friday Funny - Wise Ben Franklin

Sorry for the lack of Friday Funnies.... I'm trying to do better... With that in mind, this came in my e-mail this morning and I thought I would share..

Ben Franklin Said.

This is to those who enjoy a glass of wine... and those who don't.

As Ben Franklin said:

In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 quart of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 2.2 lbs. of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces.

In other words, we are consuming 2.2 pounds of poop. However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.

It's a cute saying, but Ben Franklin could not have said it. He died in 1790, some 38 years before Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg introduced the word bacterium.

Interesting... Well, that just goes to show you that the funnies aren't always historically accurate.. But they are kinda funny. :-)
