A Potato Story
A Potato Story
Well,
A Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other,
And finally they got married, and had a little sweet
Potato, which 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, 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, 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 PEI 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 George Stephanopoulos.
George Stephanopoulos!
Mr. And Mrs.
Potato were very upset.
They told Yam she couldn't
possibly marry George Stephanopoulos because he's just.......

My 90 year old brother is still sufficiently lucid to keep emailing these to me - and I'm happy to share them with the NT family.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where doe he get them all from ????
He corresponds by email with a whole lot of old friends and others, and they exchange, similar to a small private social network.
I might add your joke are just about all can be bothered reading sometimes !!!!
Of course Way. You and I are not Americans, so we are not so obsessed with American politics as so many Americans are - we have more varied interests.
My laugh for the day.
The joke was originally a Canadian one, and Peter Mansbridge was a Canadian commentator who was originally the "commentator" in the joke and when I posted it, due to the fact that most readers would be American, I changed it to George Stephanopoulos, a well-known American commentator, and then missed changing the third reference to him until now.
I heard this one years ago and Walter Cronkite was the commontater
No surprise - but I had to choose a commentator who was still living. Anyway, Walter Cronkite goes back to a time when it was possible for people to believe what a commentator had to say. He and Paul Harvey were my favourites back then.
I laughed. I like all the puns, too
I just realized that unless you're a Canadian you might not know what PEI means, as in this line..
PEI is Prince Edward Island, one of Canada's maritime provinces, and it is famous for its potatoes.
No, I didn't know that, but thanks for the education!
