It's the Groaner of the Week!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, folks, Christmas is over and so are the holiday-themed groaners. I thought we should end the year with an oldie but goodie that's been in my archives for a longggg time. If this doesn't give y'all a really excellent grooooooaaaannn, I don't know what will!

A girl potato and a boy potato had eyes for each other and in time they got married and had a little sweet potato who they named 'Yam.' Of course, they wanted only the best for Yam and gave her everything they could as well as carefully guiding her in the right direction as good parents do.

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! On the other hand she didn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either. She got 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 promised that 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 that august institution of higher learning, Idaho P.U. (i.e., Potato University) so that when she graduated she'd really be in the chips. But in spite of all their careful upbringing, 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's just . . . .

Are you ready?

. . . A common tater!!!!

Happy Blogging and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!
