@Aqua-Letifer Gotcha. My thinking was that the joke was that Washington found that even growing something as unexciting as cabbages would be preferable to dealing with idiots. Wheat or tobacco just didn't have the same punch.
Fair thought process!

I met my high school english teacher at my parents' yard sale, when they were selling their house. I hated english in high school, so I thought he'd find it surprising I got a master's in poetry.
He said, "that's actually not surprising at all."
I asked him why that was.
"You couldn't just do an assignment, you never just did your work. You had to add some stupid shit to it that made it funny and interesting to you. So creative writing makes a lot of sense. In fact when other kids cut up in class, you would actually insult them if you felt they weren't being funny, and told them what they should've said instead."
"Really?"
"All the time."
So yeah, apparently it's a problem. But I'm better now! I mean, right?
Please love yourself.

Bro I have long hair, a frivolous Master's, ride a singlespeed, do film photography and buy vinyl gear. It's been a bit grim for awhile now.
But I don't eat no fucking avocado toast. I have no problem dying on that hill.
Skinny jeans can go to hell, too.

You know it's just now occurred to me that my buddy does screen printing and we design and make our own graphic tees.
My God.

I'm imagining what would have happened if this ilk had lived in General Washington's day.
He'd have said, "To hell with it. Let the Brits keep 'em. Ima go back to the farm and grow cabbages."
He didn't grow cabbages. He grew tobacco, then converted to wheat. Just sayin'.
Whiskey.
