It says he refused to sign the Constitution because it didn’t include a Bill of Rights, which is at least one thing I can admire. Mason here too - hey that is something good! ---

I got Washington. Which is funny, because regardless of my result I was going to say “This test is garbage, because I know I’m actually [George Washington](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqhsot3mk7Q) (NSFW - language)!” ---

> [@Eleanor\_of\_Aquitaine](#): > > I’m reading a biography of Franklin now, and I’m a little surprised to learn that he wasn’t all that slutty. He was just a big flirt - all talk and very little action.

Yeah…but the wooden teeth, grody! Then again, in the story/Masters of Horror episode the Washingtonians he used those chompers to feast on the flesh of young virgins. That’s kind of cool… ---

I’ll go with John Adams. People are always telling me to sit down, or trying to open up a window. ---
