(I got this in an email from a friend...just some comic relief!) Enjoy! Drink Healthy 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 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria which is found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquors ). Why? 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 ****. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service.
Old Ben was a smart guy! another gem: The U. S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself. Benjamin Franklin
I doubt seriously if Mr. Franklin ever said that. He would have been well aware that no where in the Constitution is the pursuit of happiness even suggested, much less guaranteed.
