I went to the sporting goods store today and bought a florescent yellow Speedo bathing suit.
The salesman jokingly told me that a lot of men stuff a potato into the suit for some added "enhancement".

I kept thinking about that and laughing while driving home.

When I tried the suit on at home, I couldn't help myself, and I stuffed a potato into the suit...a huge potato.

So I was admiring myself in the mirror and laughing, and then I realized something.

I think the guy meant the front of the suit, not the back.

So now I have a potato stuck in the back of my Speedoes.

And I can't get them off to save my life.























And I have a job interview tomorrow.

4. LOL!
I remember those ads on the back of comic books.

Weren't they ads for some kind of workout device or something?

Some skinny kid would get sand kicked in his face, and then go use some product and beef up?

Also, do you remember the ads for sea monkeys?

:hi:

2. Why, why, why... I don't quite know what to say.
I'm a little bashful in these situations.

What exactly is it that you can't get off to save your life?

That part has got me a little perplexed.

As far as the interview, just use this to show how original and unique you are.

Let them know, in very clear terms, that there is no way on earth that they would ever find a person with this kind of talent.

And they'd be missing out on a real piece of work.

And I mean that from the bottom of my own speedo.

5. The use of the potato...
has tightened my Speedoes so much that I cannot remove them!

Do not try this, no matter how curious you are!

:hi:

11. The SWEET potato trick? --->
http://theformalist.org/ebooks/index13.html#menamin

THE SWEET POTATO TRICK --- by Margaret Menamin

Unhappy to the point of suicide
because “the vimmin hate me,” Ole stands
poised on the bridge’s edge when he is spied
by Sven, who takes his buddy by the hands

and pulls him back: “Don’t do it, Ole, vait a
minute and ay tell you vat you do:
Shust get yourself a nice beeg sveet potata
and put it in your pants. Girls fight for you.”

The next day Ole’s back and more depressed
when Sven approaches. “Vell, it didn’t verk.
Ay use the sveet potata you suggest
and still the vimmin treat me like a jerk.”

Then Sven steps back and eyes his friend askance:
“Damn, Ole—put it in the VRONT your pants.”

12. Here's what you do
Just sit down. Very quickly. If your eyes are still in your head and the pain is some what bearable the speedos should come right off. Good luck with the job interview.
