my favorite new historical discovery in Philly while I was there for my naturalization interview was when my friend Jeremy who accompanied me there showed me the archeological remains of ben franklin’s house right behind the original Philly post office which means Ben Franklin, the first US postmaster general, was also the first ever work from home employee. I was also shown ben franklins septic tank (called a privy pit back then because we were all very fancy back then).
me: holy shit are you saying there’s ben franklin’s poop at the bottom of this hole. how do I get a look at it
Jeremy: calm down they probably already excavated his poop to display in the national museum of poop
