Sweet potatoes are good for the reproductive system, too.

I like to carve sweet potatoes. I’ve made the statue of liberty, a rocket, a potato replica, and many other things.

What the hell kind of question is that? What else would you do with them? They're too big to be suppositories.

Ever carve a sweet potato into something good for the reproductive system?

Well, I wouldn't eat them, so I guess I'm confused.

I recall a report about ten years ago claiming a sweet potato heavy diet increases the rate of twins and triplets.

I carved a sex toy once. I don't do that very often, but it was my sister's birthday.

Gentlemen, please curb your imaginations!

Yes, Petronski, one eats the sweet potatoes for the health benefit.

A sweet potato with butter and salt is better than any regular white potato.

Trust me.

Really? Even on Thanksgiving? Not eating sweet potatoes and cranberry jelly crap at Thanksgiving is communist.

They can be really tasty.

Sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallows are yucky.

IMO.

I eat twice my share of cranberry jelly crap, but avoid the sweetpataters (unless you count pumpkin pie, which is really just canned squash). I’m confused. Pass the turkey.
