George Washington Ain’t Worth Much

If you don’t want to know the answer, don’t ask the question. That is why I’m not going to email every person in the Good Ole USofA to find out how many of them know who George Washington was. I don’t want to know the answer. Sad smile

It is sad that my fellow Americans might not know who Ole George was. It is even sadder to contemplate how many of them might think he was related to George Brett or George Harrison or George Clooney or George of the Jungle.

Remember a few blog posting back when I told you about how Already Been Chewed Chewing Gum Chewed by Gene Simmons had been auctioned off for $246,602? It is now obvious that Ole George can’t hold a candle to Mr. Simmons.

Christie’s Auction House just offered a rare document signed by George Washington Proclaiming Thanksgiving a National Holiday and no bid was offered for this awesome piece of history.

As I said in the Subject above... George Washington Ain’t Worth Much.

On the other hand, if Curious George had chewed and spit out a piece of Thanksgiving Turkey Meat and Christie’s had offered it for auction, that once juicy morsel would have caused quite a bidding frenzy.

Would I kid u?

Somehow i doubt the basis for the whole story but then again maybe he really is forgotten. Who would believe a story about any man who didn't want the job and declined the opportunity to be a king. He didn't even have to raise over a billion $ to get it. Never happen today.
