The 5th of July


Today is the 5th of July, the day after the big party. America seems to be all about this day...is the number one comedy in america about a party? No, is the answer. The number one comedy in America is about the day after an extremely wild party. That made me think about what the founding fathers did the day after July 4th. I wonder if they all remembered what they had done the day after. I was thinking they probably all woke up from their opium and ale induced haze, looked around (in my imagination George Washington woke up first). He had a look around the stateroom, rubbed his eyes and put his teeth back in. He probably tried to rouse his compatriots and fellow rabble-rousers and get them to help him clean up the mess.

George: "Jefferson....Jeferson!...TOM!!!"

Thomas: "*snort* Whohuhwhatwhereamihotblackchicks!?"

George: "Get up and help me clean."

Thomas: Looking around, "Holy smokes, what happened to this place?...Oh fer pete sake Ben, put some freakin' pants on, would yah! No one wants to see that!"

Ben: "I know plenty of people who would pay GOOD MONEY to see my oh Jove I'm gonna barf"

I imagine it went something like that. They probably started cleaning up an Ben found a piece of parchment and started cleaning up random stains on the floor with it when he recognized some writing on it. Upon further inspection he probably figured it might be important and turned to the others who were cleaning...

Ben: :" Hey guys! Is this one of yous guys's...uh...parchmenty thingy?"

George: while looking it over " huh, looks likes Jefferson's handwriting."

Tom: from across the room "What does it smell like?"

George and Ben: "What?"

Tom: "If it smells like puke it's a copy..."

George: "What are you talking about?"

Tom: "That declaration thing we made last night, John Witherspoon puked on the thirteen copies I made last night after he ate all those nachos Ben bet him he couldn't eat"

George: "No, what declaration thing?"

Tom: "You guys don't remember? We were all 'boo, england sucks' and we wrote that thing and mailed it off that was all 'Hey, king guy, you blow get off our backs' and all that stuff..."

George: "Well, NOW were screwed..."

Ben: "I think I gotta puke again."


We all know how that turned out.

happy 5th of July...."Dude, where's my Horse?"
