A Corny one from the Potti.....

My good friend Potti (aka PattiH) sent this to me and I could NOT resist posting it here. All I kept thinking the whole time I was reading it was "Man that sure sounds like something my niece would tell"

SOOOO HERE IT GOES:

Well, the 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 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 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 for this?
>
>
> Are you sure?
> OK! Here it is!
