THE POTATO STORY

 

You know that all potatoes have eyes. Well, Mr. and Mrs. Potato had eyes

for each other, and finally they got married and had a little sweet potato

whom they called Yam.

 

Of course, they wanted the best for Yam. When it was time, they told her

about the facts of life. They warned her about going out and getting

half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed and get a bad name for

herself like "Hot Potato" and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots.

 

Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten

potato out of her ! But on the other hand, she wouldn't stay home and become

a Couch Potato, either. She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be

skinny like her Shoestring cousins.

 

When she went off to Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for

the Hard Boiled guys from Ireland and the greasy guys from France called

the French Fries. And when she went out west, she was to watch out for the

Indians so she would not be scalloped.

 

Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate

with those high class Yukon Gold's or the ones from the other side of the

tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say"Frito Lay".

 

Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University) so

that when she graduated she'd really be in the Chips. But in spite of all

they did for her, one day Yam came home and announced she was going to marry

Tom Brokaw.

 

Tom Brokaw !!! Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset. They told Yam she

couldn't possibly marry Tom Brokaw because

he is just a. . .
