We have a columnist in the local paper who ran a whole column about how we needed more potato jokes. Point being that for decades Idaho was about the least known state in the Union. If anybody did know anything about Idaho (not Iowa) it was something about potatoes.
Then a bunch of big mouth magazines started running stories about what a great place to live it was. How there was so little crime, so much public land to enjoy and what a great place it was to raise a family that a whole lot of folks started moving here. They told their friends what a great place it was and their friends moved here, and suddenly you got shopping malls and subdivisions in places that used to have terrific pheasant hunting.
We really need more potato jokes so people will think "Idaho?" and just laugh. And not even think of moving here.
So if you know any good potato jokes, we'd all really appreciate it if you could spread them around.
