The answer, according to me Pa, back in his potato-sexing days (although he now denies all recollection of ever having dangled a nail above a spud), is that the ladies are good for the planting and the chaps are good for the eating. When I raised this subject at dinner on Tuesday, my mother very sagely pointed out that potatoes' sex cells are in their flowers, not their starchy fundaments, but it is possible that some taters are more likely to sprout compatriots than others. That this supposedly makes them female I suspect derives from a dubious analogy with female mammalia.Alexis, Baron von Harlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675225579658733004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492889481663521911.post-62076367372949780372007-08-16T21:59:00.000+10:002007-08-16T21:59:00.000+10:00Carbohydrates and gender...<A HREF="http://crazybrave.net/2007/05/27/carbohydrates-and-gender/" REL="nofollow">Carbohydrates and gender</A>...lucy tartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09244574932248425378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492889481663521911.post-65981412403125263592007-08-16T20:03:00.000+10:002007-08-16T20:03:00.000+10:00THE MOST LAMENTABLE TRAGEDY OF DESIREE AND PONTIAC...THE MOST LAMENTABLE TRAGEDY OF DESIREE AND PONTIAC <BR/><BR/><I>PONTIAC: (Approaches balcony) But soft!

Do the spuds get together as in Harry met Sally? Y'see I've never noticed this. So is this a half-baked idea? The only magic I know of potato productivity/pro-creation is nice white flowers above ground and spuds beneath the grounds. Please explain.<BR/><BR/>Blessings and blissAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05972285659958872775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492889481663521911.post-48173975247329181842007-08-16T12:22:00.000+10:002007-08-16T12:22:00.000+10:00I mentioned your toes in a lecture yesterday, and ...I mentioned your toes in a lecture yesterday, and someone came up afterwards and told me that both his sister and his daughters had them!Alexis, Baron von Harlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675225579658733004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492889481663521911.post-27857979450364445292007-08-16T09:50:00.000+10:002007-08-16T09:50:00.000+10:00Aw, Shucks!!
