Potato Joke

Dear Readers,

I have been cleaning out my desk and papers. I found this little joke and would like to pass it on to you. It is silly, I haven't heard/read it for years. I hope you get a little chuckle out of it.


Well, Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, and got married. They had a little sweet potato and they called her "Yam."

Of course they wanted the best for Yam. When it was time, they told her about the facts of life. They warned their daughter 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 should get plenty of exercise too, so not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.

When Yam went off to Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Potato told her to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland, and the greasy guys from France called French Fries.

When she went out to the Westthey told her to watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped! Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate with those high class Yukon Golds.

Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University) so that when she graduated she would be in the chips! But, in spite of all they did for her, one day Yam came home and announced that she was going to marry Tom Brokaw.

Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset. They told Yam she couldn't possibly marry Tom Brokaw because he is just  .............................................................................................................................
