Sweet Potatoes Have a Bad Feeling About This

AMERICA (Just Laugh) – Taking particular notice as the grocery store clerk erected a freshly written sign announcing that they had been priced down to only $0.49/pound for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, sweet potatoes around the nation began showing a strong concern as they contemplated the true intention of such bargain prices with more and more of their brethren disappearing into families’ shopping carts as the weekend passed.

“At first I thought that it was pretty swell when they brought over some marshmallows and brown sugar to arrange around our display because we hardly ever get to see those guys,” cited long-time sweet potato Jerry Carville, “but when Henry pointed out the recipe cards for something called Aunt Gina’s Marshmallow Sweet Potato Surprise, we got the feeling that it wasn’t going to be the type of event that would have us all jumping out to say ‘Surprise!’…”

“If I didn’t know better,” told concerned sweet potato Janet Mayberry, “I’d say that our friends and family are being shuttled out of here by the pound for something other than a festive table arrangement or to go live in the dirt of a nice family in the suburbs!”

Though the collective pile of potatoes dared not to say the words, it was clear what was on everyone’s minds as they noticed patrons rubbing their bellies and filling their carts with cranberries and stuffing and even bizarre balls of meat that strangely resembled the live turkeys that they’d known from their days on the farm. Something just wasn’t right about the whole experience, and together these sweet potatoes have vowed to get to the bottom of it – with or without toasted marshmallows on top.
