"POTATO"
© Tad "JTK.CA" NudistPoet
When I lived in Valparaiso (Valpo), Indiana, Vice President Dan Quayle got a lot of ridicule for spelling potato as "potatoe." Before his slip-up, I was walking my Valpo neighbourhood, Heritage Valley, and I came to a street with the street sign carved out of wood to read "POTATOE CREEK COURT." Later, on, AFTER Dan Quayle's bad-spelling controversy, I walked by the same street, and they had actually grouted in and painted over the erroneous "E," so that the sign correctly read "POTATO CREEK COURT." I thought that was hilarious! :-) ♥
