JUICED UP !" Adam Orange was a citric cajoler of circumstance. Happenchance had him selling lemons in a mosque on St. Swithin 's Day, not a very wise move considering his ankles had become snipped by malignant marzipan-chasing ombudsmen looking for salvation in their lunch hour. Over in Hull, northern England, hoary pendants had become irredeemably irreversable due to the colour of their fragmented formulae. Not only were they now translucent, but they had built up a fibric undertone crusted way beyond its disposition. Jenny Grapefruit took up the story.........................

I confess that I was very tired toward the end of my search, and basically didn 't give a rat 's arse for those pedantic record books. However, I pulled myself together emotionally and finished the job. Before I begun my journey, I decided to add spice to the challenge ahead, by using a penknife instead of a shovel to perform my "dig". This obviously took a little longer to achieve my target. In fact, it damn near killed me, but that is another story.

Adams, infuriated by the actions of a supposed ally, sent representatives to fix the relations between these two nations, a meeting commonly known as the XYZ Affair. During this meeting, the Frenchmen dubbed “X”, “Y”, and “Z” demanded a huge bribe to allow the Americans to
Just 29 years after America defeated its mother country Great Britain, they were at war with them again. Washington issued a proclamation asking his countrymen to be impartial to Britain and France. Then John Adams agreed to the convention of 1800, which ended the alliance between the U.S. and France.

The embargo failed to make Britain respect America’s trading rights, so when James Madison can into presidency in 1809 he had the same problem.
