I heard about this from a man on the bus.

He said (and this is exactly what he said) "Boy that sure must've been something. Just imagine forty thousand pounds of potatoes. Yes, there were forty thousand pounds of mashed potatoes. "

First herring. Now potatoes. All we need is a tanker truck of nice cream sauce to overturn and we can have a Sons of Norway dinner.

Surprised that you are not affected by a stereotype that would be at most 25% relevant?

It's probably changed since the '80s, but I found it scary back then to see 14-year old kids driving huge potato trucks on the highways in south-eastern Idaho. I don't think they were allowed to drive tractor-trailers, but they were still behind the wheel of some farking large rigs.

Being of Irish/Polish heritage, it is taking literally all of my willpower not to run straight towards Kentucky right now. If only this had happened somewhere civilized...

Dear Subby: Assuming "several" to be "three", what the Fark kind of potatoes do you buy that have 75 eyes to the pound?

/unnecessary snark over

///I groaned at the headline, and if this is the worst I can find to snark about, you done good.
