qcconfidential:peashooter85:Ben Franklin is busy at work as Ambassador to France.All Ben did in France was eat drink and fuck for 4 years and became such a celebrity that France felt obligated to help America.That was the genius of having Ben as Ambassador to France. The French court was full of socialites who partied, drank a lot, ate a lot, had lots of sex, and lived very leisurely lifestyles. Franklin had a very laid back but outgoing personality, was extremely sociable, and enjoyed those kinds of things as well. Thus it was very easy for Franklin to network with the French nobility while spreading his influence.On the other hand, John Adams, Franklin’s Co-Ambassador, was a very reserved, stodgy, and very serious man who lived by Puritanical ideals. The French often considered him rude and offensive. He didn’t fit in at all and accomplished little while there. -- source link
