4. I voted George Washington
Man the stories about children we could exchange. I swear the things kids do and the stories they come up with to explain their actions is to say the least extraordinary.

11. Only problem
The only problem with the real George W. was that, no only did he not like to be touched, he didn't even like to be spoken to. He really was as unapproachable as we hear.

15. I've been told that about alot of people that I am friends with.
I just have an unique personality and that goes a long way most of the time.

Nobody is unapproachable.

6. I went with Paine
I would've loved to get him hammered so I could hear him rail against King George, 'cause I do the same with our own...

7. Franklin, definitely.
I would get into an argument with the slave holders, and John Adams might be a bit of a downer.

But Franklin knew about virtually everything, a perfect genius!!!

10. Considering George experimented with the growing of hemp ...
And was known to be a rather socially "liberal" (that is, indifferent to class and religion) fellow for his time - even if he swung a bit to the pretentious authoriarian side when his personal sense of status was considered, he'd probably be the one you'd want to roll a fatty with - betcha once he mellowed out with the home grown, he was an okay dude to hang with.
But just a beer? Ben Franklin, of course...I suspect you could depend on him to find the best dives anywhere you happened to be.

:evilgrin:

18. Ben Franklin
In a New York minute.

I haven't had a drink in 23 years but I'd make an exception for Benny.
