Dear Armstrongs, My Dad loved this joke. He thought it was really funny, but that was back in the 1930s. I'm going to tell it to you, and I hope you get the joke. But you probably have to be an old person. "Seems that an Irish Potato and an Idaho Potato got married, and after a while they had a baby which they named Sweet Potato. As time went by, Sweet Potato grew up and fell in love with Fulton Lewis Jr. And she wanted to marry him. However her parents refused to give their blessing to the marriage." Can you suggest a reason for their refusal? -- Sincerely, Bob Armstrong in Houston, TX picture "I have fished through fishless days that I remember happily and without regret."
