When you post to this newsgroup, add a joke for goodness sakes! I just read 20 messages and got 2 jokes. Get real!
A potato walks into a bar, says to the barman “Vodka on the rocks!” The barman says “Vodka?!! Don’t you know that’s made of potatoes, what are you a cannibal or something?!!!” The potato says “Ohmygod, potatoes?!! I never realised!!!! Just a packet of chips then thanks.”
History: I made this one up! 😊
