Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, was admired for his wit, kind personality, scientific accomplishments, as well as diplomatic ability.
Although he served on the committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence, it is said that he was not chosen to draft the document for fear that he might conceal a joke in it!
“Gentlemen, we must now all hang together, or we shall most assuredly all hang separately”, he said after having finished signing the document.
Got anything to add?
