The history of the potato is actually quite fascinating.

The potato was originally from Peru where the local inhabitants laid them out on the cliffs. There, the ocean breezes, sunshine, and cool weather would, essentially, freeze dry the little spuds. As a result, they attained the exact carbohydrate to protein ratio necessary for human survival.

Once taken to Europe, of course, they were responsible for the industrial revolution since, for the first time, persons didn't have to spend all their time acquiring food. The resultant "spare time" provided a work force that allowed the industrial revolution to take place.

Therefore, the lowly spud is directly responsible for putting a man on the moon. Plus, you can make little people out of them with toothpicks.

Have you ever seen that show "Connections" with the little English guy who shows how some primitive development leads to a series of developments that result in a modern technological accomplishment of amazing proportions?

Hey, nobody calls me dumber than Dirk and gets away with it!

Meet me at the airport!

I'll let you know which one.

We should probably go with a neutral airport, someplace where neither of us has friends or relatives. And let's make sure there's a bar.

Invite me over sometime when your stepdad will let you visit her.

No, I haven't, Mr. patteeu. Sounds interesting though. I've always been intrigued by the seemingly unrelated and minor, but still vital events that lead to significant advances in civilization.

I was once able to trace the advent of refrigerated pharmaceutical transportation to a troubling rash on Anne Boleyn's left, inner thigh.

Do they have comfortable chairs? And where'd this "fight" stuff come from? I thought he was inviting me to have a drink and discuss our issues like people who don't shoot our refrigerators.

By the way, I spoke with my doctor - err, trainer - and he says I need to limit any fighting to less than 10 seconds.

Pat, how's Pittsburgh for you? I might have some free time coming up at the end of the month. The 25th looks like a good day. Should we fight first or drink first? Or both? I think you should buy the first round since you started it.
