not only should our diets be potato-based, but so should our humor:

One day Princess Potato came into the throne room and announced to her parents, Queen Potato and King Potato, that she wanted to marry Jim Nantz. Her mother pleaded with her to change her mind, but the princess had her mind set.

With his wife in tears, the King Potato said, “I forbid you from marrying Jim Nantz!”

“But why, Daddy?” the princess asked.

“Because,” said the King, “you're a princess, and he’s just a common ‘tater.”

Warning Puns galore

Police in Gloucester County had been looking for a pickle-brained prankster who was caught on camera committing a bizarre crime.

It may not have been a big "dill," but police say what happened at the Heritage's store two weeks ago was in fact a crime

If the briny bandit wanted to go viral, well he's going to "relish" this.
