QUESTION: What is the best way to serve okra?

ANSWER: To someone else.

No, that would be fried.

Back when I had a garden, I would snack on okra right off the plant as I tended the garden. Never once accidently smoked it.

Probably puffed on the tomato plants but didn't inhale.

I think the sentence for these 'agriculturally challenged' folks should be to harvest okra, in shorts and a cut off tank top, barefoot, at noon, with a dull knife. Off of fully grown row-spanning plants that're extra leafy! Then, the have to eat the okra....boiled! (cackle!)

HAHAHA!

Let 'em start early in the morning when the dew is still on those extra leafy plants and work right through the noon day sun!
They'd run if they even saw another okry plant!

Okra isn't illegal, but it should be.

"I'm so hungry I could eat Okra!" Unknown Texan as the seige of Goliad.

"I'll say it for you then, chief. It's embarrassing."

These days nothing is embarrassing. That would be true for anyone who is empty-headed.

Man, now I miss my grandma's okra. I need to go back home one weekend to get a mess. What kind of idiot mistakes an okra plant for a pot plant?

You go into drug enforcement if you're too stupid to do anything worthwhile.
