"That in the parlor must, I should think, stand as it does; not so much on account of the wainscotting, which I think must be altered (on account of the door leading into the new building), as on account of the chimney piece and the manner of its fronting into the room...In short, I would have the whole executed in a masterly manner."
--George Washington, letter to Mt. Vernon, Sept. 30, 1776 (a few days before the British landing at Throg's Neck in NY)

An act of sexual congress in which a man takes a virgin home and (trading in an ax for a much harder tool), destroys her cherry tree.
Before finishing, the man pulls out and lets loose a cum eruption on the former virgin's head. Lastly, he tosses a handful of baby powder on her hair, which combines with the baby juice to take on the look of a powdered wig.
