Benjamin Franklin's Organ
By Jeffrey Borinsky

Benjamin Franklin was a member <g> of the "Hellfire Club" here in
England.  That club had a certain reputation.  Perhaps "Benjamin
Franklin's Organ" is the right title.

You can visit the "Hellfire Caverns" where the club used to meet.
They are at West Wycombe, about halfway between London and Oxford,
in a lovely part of the country.

Why does English have so many euphemisms?  Do other languages labour
under the same burden?
