Some supposedly factual information: Benjamin Franklin - Wikiquote

Back to your regularly scheduled misquotations...



"Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our driveways; there it soaks the brewers and their gear, changing a labor of love to a prolonged chore; a constant proof that God loves us, but also loves to f--- with us." - Ben Franklin
 
"When I speak of rain and vines and vineyards, I am appeasing the French but I really mean, beer." - Benjamin Franklin prior to his travels to France as an ambassador.
 
"Not only is beer proof that god loves us, but that god doesn't mind a slightly larger midsection on men or women " - Ben Franklin
 
"Once again, F*ck the French! They are evil and arrogant and nobody likes Kronenbourg anyways." - Benny Franklin after his return to the USA from France
 
"Without me, your waffles will be lonely, your French toast sticks bland, your pancakes dry, and your winter beer lacking that quintessential imitation maple flavor." - Benjemima Franklin
 
"Without me, your waffles will be lonely, your French toast sticks bland, your pancakes dry, and your winter beer lacking that quintessential imitation maple flavor." - Benjemima Franklin

"I had to cut down on my drinking, so now I only have beer in the morning instead of my normal glass of wine." - Benjamin Franklin

"One Love, One Heart, Let's get together and drink a beer." - BenJammin Marley
 
"A key placed halfway up thy string on thy kite shall thus make a wonderous heatstick in the presence of lighting" - Ben Franklin
 
"In several generations, all of my writings about beer produced in the home (HOMEBREW) shall also apply to a set of conventions which issue forth instructions on a small communication device to be held in the palm of one's hand. All of my quotations on WINE will apply to a set of conventions and instruction which will ensure the matrimony of two libraries. These are not conventional libraries to which we are accustomed... but we have no time for that now. If you remember nothing, place all of your fortunes on the colonial NAVY in the America's cup." Bejadamus Franklinus.
 
"There are three things that a man must accomplish before he dies. Brew his own beer, teach someone to brew his own beer, and then go to France to piss on them." - Ben Franklin

By the way, for you wine people, watch Bottle Shock for a historically inaccurate but entertaining film about the downfall of arrogance.
 
"Could someone loan me a $100 to cover my bar tab?" - Benjamin Franklin
 
Give a man a brew, and he'll drink for a day. Teach a man to brew and he'll spend his life savings on brewing equipment and supplies.
