10/13 Why was Sir Walter Raleigh such a stupid git?
\_ you're so tired?
\_ yes and yes, but i'd still like to know what if anything
J.L. meant.
\_ Sir Walter Raleigh was the founder of North Carolina
and is credited with starting the tobacco growing
industry. I think there is/was also a cigarette brand
called "Sir Walter Raleigh", so it's unclear if he's
cursing the man or the brand of cigarettes or both.
\_ Because he was stuck in a 5 pound can?
\_ Do you have Prince Albert in a can?
\_ Is your refrigerator running?
\_ Can I speak to Seymore Butts, please?

Read the story of his life. I think it would be obvious
why someone might say that about him. |
