Potatoehead Pancake

I thought Mr. Potatoehead was a friend of yours; surely you’re not going to eat him?

Of course not. I’m referring to the time I saw Mr. Potatoehead’s face in a pancake; it was quite like the experience of the woman who saw Jesus in a taco shell. I’m just kidding; what I’m really referring to is the time Mr. Potatoehead, disguised as a pancake, entered the local Denny’s restaurant.



Why was he disguised as a pancake?

The regulations on driver’s licenses require Potatoes to be at least able to see over the dashboard; however, pancakes are eligible to drive when they are capable of stacking. Mr. Potatoehead at the age of twenty five, knew he was not going to reach the required height, and thus had come up with the ingenious idea of passing himself off as a pancake.

But why go to Denny’s?

Since we did not thoroughly understand the nature of pancake stacking, we though it was a good place to start. Trouble began as soon as we entered the establishment. Pancake pandemonium broke out of the kitchen, screaming obscenities and hurling scrambled eggs at not only Mr. Potatoehead, but at the innocent clientele as well. The once docile patrons, now tipped over chairs and upset tables in their mad rush to escape the flying eggs. Knives and forks began to rattle like sabers, and Pancakes leapt off of plates and began jockeying for life saving positions. Mr. Potatoehead’s plan; however, ingenious had unwittingly started the Pancake Revolution.

I never heard of the Pancake Revolution?

It’s been kept under wraps for a very long time. As a matter of fact, the Pancake Revolution marks the beginning of the end of species specific regulations. Now that’s a wrap fact in a manner of speaking, even though speaking of spoken is verboten.
