I just think it was considerate of our Founding Fathers to sign on the dotted line in July–also a great vacation month. Imagine had it been in January or February. It’s hard to do a great firework display in the snow!

A pen in time saves 9 or was that a stitch in time, well whatever, finding a pen meant that you don’t celebrate the 4th of July on the 9th Hmmmm maybe I missed something, like the point of your joke Carl ?

Someone was just holding back to add a little drama to the day.

  The British were ready to add a little drama too with 10,000 of King George’s crack troops.

  Was he a signer? I go with William Paca, the Italian signer and shop at Office Depot(where I use my teacher discount card even though retired in 2006). .

    W.B. Mason is a stationer up here in the Northeast, I thought that maybe he was national, but I guess not..lol
    P.S. I’ll keep your secret about the discount card..

    Yes, I never heard of them. What’s so stupid about the card is that anyone can go on line if they plan to shop and get the same discount coupons.

If you didn’t catch that pen, who else supplied one? July 4th has a certain ring to it, you know. Must find a pen because July 5th or 6th just doesn’t sound good.
