"TATOR' STORY _

You know that all potatoes have
eyes. Mr. And Mrs. Potato had
eyes for each other, and finally got
married. The following year, they
had a little sweet potato, whom
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 shoe string cousins.
When she went off to Europe,
Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam to
watch out for the hard boiled guys
in Ireland, and the greasy guys
from France called French fries.
When she went out west, they
told her to watch out for 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 Universi
ty), so that when she graduated
she;d really be in the chips.
When Yam graduated, she went
off to the big city of New York. Mr: and
Mrs. Tator continued to guide
their daughter. But in spite of all
they did for her, one day Yam
came hone and announced she
was going to marry Tom Brokaw!
"Tom Brokaw!" Yams' parents
exclaimed!
Oh my, Mr. and Mrs. Potato were
very upset at this announcement.
They told Yam she just couldn't
possibly marry Tom Brokaw because
he was just... .....
