“Dialogue Between Franklin and the Gout”
Bonus:
Not to be confused with the Emperor of Maladies
Summary: Gout tells Ben Franklin why he has gout.
Commentary: As established, I don't care for these dialogues. I figured if anyone could do an interesting one, it'd be Ben Franklin. It's better than most, but in the end it falls into the same issue that most of them do. One character (Ben) is so dumb and docile as to be pointless, and the other (Gout) is such a know-it-all. I think I'd rather just read "Gout's Essay (or letter) to Franklin" than deal with the Franklin parts.
