George Washington’s Lie

It has finally happened. President George Washington has told a Lie.

I came out of the blue in the form of a Text Message from the Ole Boy right from Heaven to Earth.

Experts are baffled as to why he would tell such a whopper hundreds of years after he had died.

Here it is...

I, George Washington, do hereby state for the public record that I am proud that Washington, D.C. is named after me.”

It defies credulity that this could be true!  

Fella is baffled also. He was quoted as saying...

“I can’t explain it but its authenticity is without question. The only explanations I can come up with are...

Ø After 288 years since he was born Senility has finally set in.

Ø He is tired of Benjamin Franklin laughing at him every time Congress does something stupid and he feels he can trick the Street Protestors into demanding a name change if they feel he is actually proud of his name being associated with the District of Columbia.

I feel the second bullet above may be the correct explanation because I have it on barely reliable unnamed sources that many of the Street Protestors have been receiving Text Messages from Heaven that go like this...

Ø Don’t ye think Franklin, D.C. has a nice ring to it?

Ø Benjamin, D.C. should have been the name from the very beginning!

Ø Hey hey what do ya say!
    Make my day!
    Benjamin Franklin, D.C.
    Is what the name oughta be!

Since we are into lying, allow me to join in. Everything you have read in this Blog Posting is absolutely true!

Would I kid u?
