Benjamin Franklin would
screw the old ladies; put
bags on their heads!

What kind of tricks could in-
ventors discover with
kites, plus a key and some
pieces of thread?

For those who don't get the reference, good old Ben, possibly the true father of our country, wrote an essay on how to choose a mistress. He suggested old ladies - they won't conceive, they're grateful, their bodies aren't that bad, and if you don't like their face put a basket over their head. Honest. Well - something like that, anyway.
