Dear Husband and I were watching TV last night. The movie “National Treasure” was on cable, and I went to the Internet to find a synopsis of the story line. The first two paragraphs were written by critics or press agents, but the third one was written by a movie buff.
\nThe story line was a spin off of “The Da Vinci Code” story, suggesting that the Knights Templar sent a HUGE treasure from the era of the Holy Grail to the infant United States for safe keeping. Supposedly Benjamin Franklin and other early leaders left a slew of clues showing where the treasure had been buried.
\nThe movie buff was explaining the plot, and wrote that the “Four Fathers” of the United States had left clues. I had to go back to read that line. Obviously he thought there were 4 (four) fathers who had started our country. He’d heard the words, but had not seen it written out. Four fathers…..let’s see…that would be Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Hancock and….???
\nIt reminds me of other goofs I’ve heard that have brought smiles. Have you heard about the child who came home from Sunday School to tell his mother that they had sung his favorite hymn, “Gladly, the Cross-eyed Bear”?
\nWe love puns because of the word play, and Four Fathers seems to fit right in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
