The Arrow's Path

This is why I love history. 98% of the time , historical records can be drier than dirt. Every so often you stumble upon something hysterically funny.  I found this gem from John Adams' personal diary (see second paragraph): the time Ben Franklin mansplained long enough about air flow until John Adams got tired of arguing about it and fell asleep...
