Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for November 10, 2018

Pot-ay-to, Pot-ah-to!

He has the sort of ruddy complexion she favors. Plus, he looks like a good listener.

Usually they’re all eyes.

Those two would really make a sweet couple.

He’s not for real.

5 ears? I suppose she also likes spuds in prison?

He looks a little baked…maybe even half-baked.

He’s all ears!

I heard he’s a real masher and a member of the underground!

As they age, my potatoes grow eyes, not ears. On the plus side, as he gets older, he’ll get mushy.

He’s all ears. A good listener.

He asked about her past, she said “Idaho”; now he thinks she’s easy.

The better to hear you with, my dear.

Being attracted to another potato…gravitatered.

Is her name Ida Ho Potato?…

He was in a production of “Julius Caesar” and the crows took him literally when he said “Friends, Romans Countrymen, lend me your ears”.

She just wants him for the spare parts.

If I had a million doll ears…
