So I was at this party, in the kitchen, and someone I had just met, Pat,
walks up says:

Pat:	You know what I was thinking? Your nose looks like a potato!
Me:	Noses run in my family. Ha, ha.... ahem. This shape, you know.
Pat:	Yeah, you look too seriously out of shape to have ever boxed,
	or anything. But I didn't mean just any potato, I saw this
	weird one in the bin today, Why don't I look for it?
Me:	No, that's OK.
Pat:	No, I want you to have it.  When I saw it, I was going to throw it
	away. Is that dumpy person over there your friend?
Me:	Please put down that potato.

		No spuds, please.	--Nax@cornell
