Deja Spud on Letterman

So this heart-shaped (hot) potato walks into a bar...No, wait, it's David Letterman, a potato, and Barack Obama. And, for those not in the know, about 27 years ago, the founder of The Potato Museum, the mother tater to The FOOD Museum On-Line, appeared on one of Letterman's first shows, talking tubers, showing spudifacts, and causing Dave to ask, "Why not celery?"

Clearly, Obama gets it.

Ps The owner of the dessicated, heart-shaped potato in play on Letterman was Mary Apple. Just saying, cuz you know the spud is a pomme de terre in French and aardappel in Dutch, so... Earth apple, that is.
