Historic Church
While touring historic buildings in Alexandria, Virginia, we visited an old church. The guide told us that George Washington had attended services there and pointed to his pew.
A reverent silence fell. The guide, encouraged by this, went on to tell us that church services back then had been very lengthy -- frequently lasting three hours or more.
The mood of the moment was shattered when an anonymous voice whispered loudly, "So George Washington slept here too!"
