Grew Hemp on his plantation and had wooden false teeth. Supposedly, he slept around as well.




Btw Ryk, while Mr. Washington might have grown hemp, contrary to folklore, he never owned or wore a set of wooden teeth.

You see, while he DID have "bad teeth" for most of his adult life(I mean he WAS British, remember?! ...sorry mates, couldn't resist that one ...yeah yeah, I know that was more of the previous generation over there), his dentures were made of ivory and metal which led to a life of oral discomfort throughout the majority of his life.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
