This potato sprout kind of looks like an embryonic hand. It's waving at you! "Hi Cassie!!!"

This was something suggested in "Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask," if I remember correctly.

It's like someone was playing a game of contraceptive "telephone" with her. The true yam (aka the "sweet potato" [which are not the same thing, but try telling that to Americans]) is a source of hormones used in making, among other things, contraceptive pills. So you can, actually, make a contraceptive out of a…

Wasn't there a Roald Dahl story about a man who had truffles or something growing in his butt? And then the doctor scraped some off and took it home to his family? And they all ate the butt-truffles and started growing butt-truffles of their own??

Lol. I shared this on FB and some "friend" of a "friend" hit me up with the following gem:

I just started screaming internally. I'm never eating potatoes for the next few weeks. Thanks Mark for making childhood fears of plants growing inside me come true. You'll receive my therapy bills shortly.

I went to school with girls who thought douching with coke was a contraceptive. Abstinence programs work, Y'all!
