A penny saved is a beer undrunk tonight, which misleadingly paints Ben Franklin in the ugly light of  the big sopping wet blanket.  Too bad he is a huge baller, rocking hard-partying synapses to come up with incredible discoveries and inventions like the Franklin Stove, which doubled heat output while reducing wood input.  He also turned down patenting rights and further financial success because he is a rock star and felt more people would use the stove if it wasn’t restricted by proprietary patents. And who can forget the glass armonica.  

 

And of course, everyone knows he loved older women.  At least, according to this:  'œ'as in the dark all Cats are grey, the pleasure of corporal enjoyment with an old woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every knack being by practice capable of improvement.' In addition, he adds, 'œThey are so grateful!!!'

 

Yea, all cats might look grey in the dark, but the quality of sex with grey cats does vary significantly.  But that is besides the point.  Franklin would be the first to admit that a penny saved, penny earned is just some clever little phrase. He didn’t actually mean it.  

 

Ellis Bar is located at 627 5th Ave (Brooklyn)
