It's all abou the
If I say Benjamin Franklin what is the first image that pops into your skull. If it’s Puff Daddy, P-Diddy, Diddy, P., whatever, rapping about the $100 bill then I’m reaching the right crowd.
Money. Cash. Cheddar. Paper. Whatever you want to call it. When you pull that wrinkled $100 bill that your mommy gave you and look at it, do you think: “Why is the guy that invented the light bulb on one our bills? He was probably one of the first Presidents or something.” and crumple it back up and stuffed it next to your iPod?
I wouldn’t fault you for that. People often refer to money as “dead presidents”. It would seem to follow that Benjamin Franklin fell into that category. But he’s not.
Benjamin Franklin is one of the “Founding Fathers” of the nation, an ambassador for our then young nation, an inventor (and no, not of the light bulb), and he really loved the ladies.
The highest official office that Benjamin Franklin held was as Postmaster General.
If the dude on the $100 bill were alive today, he’d have just turned 300. I’d hate to be the doctor that had to do THAT prostate exam.
Happy $100 bill day, everybody!
