Laugh of the Day

A little early for Thanksgiving, the only time most Americans see a yam*, but funny nonetheless.

Alpha Yam Resists Being Candied

It's short. It's audio-only. Go take a bathroom break then give it a listen. You'll be glad of the bathroom break when you get to the part detailing the yam's defense against "aggressive marshmallow attacks."

*-sweet potato, really. The things sold in North American stores as "yams" are not yams at all. Good thing, too, since true yams can be up to 150 pounds. I doubt that there are many families whose Thanksgiving spread--or kitchen, for that matter--has room for a tuber that outweighs the entire population of the Kid's Table.
