The Origin of Electricity

Good Morning Fans,hoboclown here! Flash Mc Cool is a little feisty this morning and wanted to set the record straight about the origin of electricity.Flash was sitting on a park bench in town this morning and I asked him what happened and he began his story-" Sometimes I hop a commuter train to come into downtown Philadelphia to get a knockwurst on pumpernickel with mustard for breakfast. The conductor got me steamed up about who discovered electricity.I had just peeled off a twenty-dollar bozo from my wad and paid my fare.The cheapskate conductor never gave me my change!I told him I liked the electric train and he said,"Yeah, thanks to Ben Franklin we're doing alright".I was bemuzzled!As I rode the train I used my greatest investigative tool,OBSERVATION.I keenly observed that there was more electricity IN the train than outside the train. Just about all of it was coming from the young high school and college students.The older people were droned out zombies still half-asleep.It was one of my AHAAA moments! Electricity comes from young people! I knew Ben Franklin when he was a young clown. Ben was in the class of 1774.He used to wear red shoes with a buckle until we got into an argument about the color of his shoes and electricity.He thought electricity came from the clouds. I told him that the red shoes were my trademark and he had to dye his shoes black.I let him keep the buckle.He wanted a penny for his urn for his lesson about electricity and I told him to go fly a kite! End of Story !!"Well fans, I told Flash it was going to be hot today and that it wouldn't be a bad idea if he went to cool off..You keep chillin' as well!Love,~Hoboclown~Copyright 2006
