Texas Potatoes
Published Jan 01, 1900
A man from Texas was travel through Ireland and was at a potato farmer's house as he was picking potatoes. The Texan looked down at the potatoes that the farmer was putting into his basket and proclaimed, "In Texas we grow potatoes THIS big!" as he was gesturing with his hands in front of his face, an overly large potato. The Irish farmer calmly looks up and in his thick Irish accent replies, "Aye, we also grow our potatoes to fit our mouths."
