Wanna Bet??

This post may totally out Scott and I as the nerds that we are, but I have to let everyone know about the bet we had. Last night while watching The Tonight Show we made a wager regarding a statement that was made during the "Jaywalker" segment (this is where they ask questions and make fun of the dumb people). Anyway, there was a statement made about "when Ben Franklin was President" and I commented to Scott that Ben Franklin wasn't ever President and he wanted to argue this point with me...thus leading to our bet. So what do you guys think:

Was Ben Franklin President of the United States?

Think you know....the basis for Scott's whole argument was that he is on money, therefore he has to have been a President. I must admit this logic almost threw me, but I stuck to my guns. And to my neighbors I say this..Scott is a graduate of Olympic High School...makes you consider moving doesn't it!

Anyway, the answer is NO, Ben Franklin was never President. I asked several people at work today and they ALL thought he was...Not that I work with a group of Brain Surgeons but geesh! But my knowledge earned me a nice lunch at McAllisters (and the fact that Scott always buys lunch when we work together is a moot point, I still won!!!)

I'm glad that I was educated in OHIO! It also goes to show that girls ARE smarter than boys!
