Punny Potato Story

Mr. and Mrs. Potato had eyes for each other, got married and
had a little sweet potato, they named '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. & Mrs. Potato told Yam to
watchout for the Hard Boiled guys from Ireland and the greasy
guys from France called the French Fries.  When she went out
west, the warned 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. & Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. [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's just a
COMMON TATER!
