I am still reading in the Ben Franklin book. He was a man of great wisdom and insight. He was the right person to be negotiating for America. But that isn’t what I want to say here today. I found another little gem from the Master Printer. This time it was about the elbow.
As for the human elbow, Franklin explained, it was important that it be located at the right place, otherwise it would be hard to drink wine. If Providence had placed the elbow too low on the arm, it would be hard for the forearm to reach the mouth. Likewise, if the elbow had been placed too high, the forearm would overshoot the mouth. “But by the actual situation, we are enabled to drink at our ease, the glass going exactly to the mouth. Let us, with glass in hand, adore this benevolent wisdom; let us adore and drink!”
Not only did he and I have a love for art of printing, but love of wine also!
