BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND JOHN ADAMS ONCE HAD TO SHARE A BED IN A CROWDED INN, AND SPENT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME ARGUING OVER WHETHER OR NOT THE WINDOW SHOULD REMAIN OPEN DURING THE NIGHT, AND WHETHER AN OPEN WINDOW WAS A HEALTHIER WAY TO SLEEP OR A SUREFIRE WAY TO GET SICK. 

I wonder who was of which opinion

FRANKLIN WANTED THE WINDOW OPEN, ADAMS WANTED IT CLOSED. 

I wonder who won.

FRANKLIN, BY TOTAL KNOCKOUT. HE KEPT EXPLAINING WHY FRESH AIR IS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR THE BODY UNTIL ADAMS GOT BORED AND FELL ASLEEP, ALLOWING FRANKLIN TO DO AS HE PLEASED RE: THE WINDOW. 

I looked this up and it is 100% true.

didn’t franklin also take WIND BATHS where he’d just strip down and go stand on a hill in the wind or something

THAT WAS ONE OF FRANKLIN’S FAVORITE EXCUSES TO GET NAKED, YEAH
