Why is it that turnips are so inherently funny? Carrots and cabbage can make a good joke, but it's hard to make a bad joke if it has the word "turnip" in it. - ErWenn, 2007-07-05: 12:40:00

One of life's mysteries - HALibut, 2007-07-05: 13:20:00

I dunno, I think rutabagas are funnier that turnips. And bok choy is a gut buster, no matter how you slice it. ;D - Kyoti, 2007-07-05: 13:21:00

Artichokes are no laughing matter, however. - Clayton, 2007-07-05: 17:44:00

Purple artichokes can be, though. - mplsbohemian, 2007-07-05: 19:45:00

However, it is better to be a turnip then a squash... just saying! - MisUndrstd, 2007-07-05: 20:10:00
