Potatoes

Post by dvm »

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'.
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 eat properly 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 those hard-boiled guys from Ireland and the greasy guys from France called the French Fries, and when she went out West, she must watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped.
They 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 Shane Warne.

"Shane Warne!!!!" they cried.
They were very upset and told Yam "You can't possibly marry Shane Warne because he's just ....... He’s just a COMMENTATOR!"

Was the ancestors of the Potato family from Ireland and did they survive the Irish Potato Famine of 1845-1849? Do they now live in Maine or Idaho? I must admit to being a serial killer of Potatos, I love the taste! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have to plead ignorance here. Loved the potato play on words jokes but didnt get the punch line.

Shane Warne is a retired athlete and now evidently is now a sports commentator. I included the link for those that did not know he he was. Sorry but I tried. :D

I read the link. Just dont get how it ties to the beginning? Was potato his nickname or a part of a catch phrase he used as an announcer? Or is it totally unrelated and making fun of announcers like " not even potatoes would want to marry an announcer"

It is just a play on words. At the end of the day after all the parents attempts to make their daughter successful she goes and marries a commoner, a nobody "a common tator".

You could substitute any well known commentator for Shane Warne.

tator - vernacular for potato
common - every day item, for people, not very notable

common tator sounds a lot like commentator, e.g. she married a common potato

Why did Mr. Tomato turn so red ?

I think Shayne Warne is married to some really hot actress ?

I'm sorry if there's any Irish people on here, it's the only way I can tell an Irish joke 8) :-

There's good reason why the Irish got the potatoe, and the Arabs got the oil ?

The Irish got first choice !
