So NV "My face on the $1 dollar bill." -Joker (Batman/1989)

For those of you that weren't at the game yesterday, Talon started by asking me, "Has anyone ever told you that you look like George Washington?"

When I turned to him, I saw that he was holding up a quarter to my head.

Steve held one up too, and said, "Ya, he does!" I looked over to him, and he said "Stay where you were before, I'm trying to compare you."

That's when everyone else at the table rushed into their pockets and took out a $1 dollar bill, and yelled out, "HE DOES!!!"

 

weird.

 

I was holding a $1 bill to your head, actually. Moka was the one who busted out the coin.


And it's true. You do look like him. Especially with your hair the way it was that night.

 

Oh, sorry about that. My mistake.

As a continuation, my mom said the same thing to me on Sunday morning... I think that Morondude told her about what happened at the game.

Weird, isn't it? I must be George Washington, reincarnated!

 

Let's keep him away from the Cherry trees.

 

You know, before he was president, they had first asked Washington to be King. He declined.

at least I think that's what happened.

 

Oh, very well, from this moment on, I declare myself KING!!! Finally, God will end my curse on this planet, and welcome me into Heaven!!!

"Welcome, my king!" -God

(HAHAHA)

 

Washington also had fake, wooden teeth.

 

I wish I had wooden teeth, that would be cool

I think MR-V1N rolled a natural 20 in Creepy on that last post!

 

Here, take a look at his dentures, Talon:

Q: Did George Washington chop down a cherry tree?
A: Probably not. The story was likely invented by a man named Mason Weems shortly after Washington's death. Ironically, the story was intended to show how honest Washington was: George confesses to his father saying, "I cannot tell a lie." Link to fable from Weems "The Life of Washington"

(Here you go Petra, You'll like this one.)

Q: Did George Washington own slaves?
A: Yes. At age eleven he inherited ten slaves from his father. By the end of Washington's life, over three-hundred African-American slaves lived at Mount Vernon. (courtesy Mt. Vernon). Link to our Washington and Slavery page.

(For anyone who is curious.)

Q: Which portrait of George Washington appears on the Dollar Bill?
A: The picture on the Dollar Bill was taken from the "Athenaeum" Portrait of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart. The original was painted in 1796.
