Bad Potato by Pal Barger and JS Moore Dont bend over in the garden Granny – you know them taters got eyes. -Lewis Grizzard Late in the evening at Skoby’s Restaurant Pal Barger was coming out of the Butcher Shop area when a couple waved him over to their table. “Mr. Barger, excuse me, sir but I have a bad potato here,” the lady exclaimed with a pompous concern, gesturing with a snarled nose toward her baked potato, which had a black spot on the inside – not something the staff at Skoby’s could have realized upon serving the potato complete and uncut with the skin surrounding it. Pal waltzed gingerly over to the couple’s table, lifted up the potato with his left hand, then lighted patted the potato with a spanking using his right hand. “Bad potato,” he scolded. Surprised by Pals humor, the woman scoffed and was upset, yet her husband smiled really big, knowing laughter, perhaps, really is a better remedy than making a scene over a potato that would soon be replaced.
