7701. THE MAN WHO LIKED BAKED POTATOES

THE MAN WHO 
LIKED BAKED POTATOES
He stood straight like an arrow, if it could stand.
He really liked baked potatoes, and sour cream 
atop them too. I told him so did I, one of my 
favorites. He laughed! He said, 'The favorite
food of restaurants and diners; it costs them 
about 3 cents, and another penny to prepare, 
and they get us to fork over some three
seventy-five for the privilege.' I said
he was probably right, but that
doesn't beat the air in those 
places we breath. They get
that for free, and then
find a way to charge
us for the seat.
