Much as I hate to (I've always loved this saying), I have to call foul on USMC. I was doing some research on Mr. Franklin recently and he never actually used this saying. He did say something somewhat similar in regards to grapes and wine. Sorry!

lol

And stop making money from it? Naaaah!

He may not have said it... but if he didn't he probably would have. The most authoritative quote I've seen that comes close is this one...

"Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy."

Now Ben Franklin DID say that... so it's close enough to be in the spirit.

Beer & Sex

How about

"Pants on the ground! Pants on the ground! Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground!"

Instant classic.

BrainyQuote.com does attribute that quote to Ben Franklin.
