Franklin had a love of satire one that you see in his proposal of sending things that crawl to England. Specifically this was for rattlesnakes. Since the Mother Country sent its convicts to the Colonies could not we send rattlesnakes back to them? They at least rattle before they strike. This would not impose too much of a burden on England as seen by Franklin. They would prefer them probably from getting back their convicts. We can just imagine the British Prime Minister wondering what the new mound is in London's St. James Park and why it just looked like it moved. http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/s...st-jamess-park
