Yes, a real joke, but as usual it's already been posted umpteen times (:-).

So, my turn to make an attempt at a new joke (new to the net, this is
not original).  It seems that, in the far, far away land of the
Potato Kingdom, the Potato Princess had reached a marriageable age, and
her father, the King, was scouring the neighboring kingdoms for an
unmarried nobleman.  But either they were too young or were too old or
were already married, so he was having no luck.  The Princess herself
was no help, either, because whenever the King found anyone who was
even a remote possibility, she refused to have anything to do with him
("he's so fat", "he's got too many eyes", "he's got no brains", etc.).

So, he had pretty much run out of possibilities, when one night
while watching the CBS Evening News, he had a brilliant idea.  There
he was -- Dan Rather, handsome, intelligent, famous, a dream potato if
there ever was one.  So he turns to his daughter, and says, "Well, how
about Dan Rather?  He's got everything you seem to be looking for in
a husband."  The Princess immediately replies,

    "Oh, Daddy, I can't marry him, he's just a common 'tater!"
