Things went wrong from the beginning on the night of silver-smith, (and failed military strategist) Paul Revere's poorly-planned "Midnight Ride."
Unbeknown to Paul, the youth group at the Old North Church had scheduled a lock-in sleepover that night, so Revere's accomplice did not have access to the bell tower where he was to hang the lanterns signaling to Paul from which direction the British soldiers were approaching. (One if by land, two if by sea) So, not only did he get started an hour late, but he had no substantial information to deliver to the inhabitants of "every Middlesex village and farm," only that the British were coming. (Which they already knew)
Another thing Paul hadn't counted on was that when you speak while bouncing on the saddle of a galloping horse, no one can understand a word you say. In the picture, we see minuteman Dawson Adams in the open upstairs window, shouting to Revere, "Whats that you say? 'The Finnish are bumbling'? That makes absolutely no sense!"
After 10 minutes of an Osteen-Meyer prosperity message, the old Calvinist couldn't handle it anymore, warning the entire colony they had told him 100 by land, and 200 by sea!
"Lookie there! A priest, a minister, and a rabbi jest walked into a bar!"
