Dude 1: Hey, um, how many mushroom you have in that bag?
Dude 2: I have seven mushroom in my bag.
Dude 1: Good. Er, what about celery?
Dude 2: I got two celery.
Dude 1: I'm makin' stew. You got half a dozen sweet potato I can borrow?
Dude 2: Um, I think there four, uh... yam. No sweet potato at all though.
Dude 1: No sweet potato?
Dude 2: No.
Dude 1: Oh.

Well... yes. I don't understand at all. Not the first nor the last time though.

Don't worry Borsook. It's probably an obscure Canadian comedy show which if we are lucky will never see wider circulation. And having been unfortunate enough to understand the horribly bad word play, I think you'll probably be grateful that you are spared exactly how bad the yam/sweet potato joke is.
Ghrey, you can't find anything funny to share? You are not being a very good ambassador for Canadian humour.

A sweet potato is a yam, a vegetable in the potato family. "I think, therefore I am" is a famous statement made by a French philosopher Descartes. It's probably the only thing he said that most people know. If you read over the - well we'll call it dialogue - it might make more sense now. It still won't be funny.

That's so... lame. Thanx for the answer anyway.
PS. No offence Ghrey.

You know . . . the paper I'm supposed to be writing actually has a lot to do with Decartes, but I won't get into details because then this will turn into a RELIGION thread. Hahaha. Just understand that it's a coincidence I find amusing. Be amused with me.

And I thought English humor was odd.

Overrated philospher, underrated Physicist. I like him though. He was a brave little man who thought that coming up with an a priori God is the same thing as being God.

I don't think it's so much Canadian humour as it is Produce humour. I'm sure I've told the one about the salad before.

I for one do not recall it...
