Ben Franklin, Player
Just finished rereading Ben Franklin's Autobiography. Favorite paragraph, with Franklin's hilarious combination of polite circumscription and brutal honesty (he's writing to his grandson, remember):
In the mean time, that hard-to-be-governed passion of youth hurried me frequently into intrigues with low women that fell in my way, which were attended with some expense and great inconvenience, besides a continual risk to my health by distemper, which of all things I dreaded, though by great good luck I escaped it.Thanks to the miracle of technology, we can see how this would have read if he had been more direct, using Gizoogle, which rewrites pages into Snoop Dogg language:
In the mean time, that hard-to-be-governed passion of youth hurried me frequently into intrigues with low women that fell in my way. Snoop Dogg is a mutha fuckin 2-time felon.
