RE: Punday Monday 251

during the american revolution benjanin franklin led an historical delegation in paris to gather support for the american cause. relying on their animosity toward england, his days were busy among the french elite but his nights were equally busy among their demimondaines. after some days, a less worldly junior member of the american delegation asked him directly
"Sir, where do you spend your nights?"
franklin considered the question to be impertinent but being a true diplomat, after careful deliberation replied wisely,
"Time is money, young man."
