”He who over eats the fries will be cursed with their sight before his eyes” - Belgian Potatus.

In the 1890’s there was French philosopher named Belgian Potatus who was a French fry historian who dedicated his life to the study of fries. Everyone calls me Potato Joe aka French fry boy because love French fries and I wanna tell you about the time I caught a case of Potatomonomous.

So everyone who knows me knows that I’m a French fry head. It’s my favorite food in the world and no other food could ever replace it for me. But one day I participated in a French fry eating competition and came down with a case of Potatomonomous. So after entering this fry eating tournament at this restaurant in my neighborhood call Alonzo’s Pizza and Sub, I won first place and had a week long ticket for free fries. As I’m walking away with my stomach full of starchy fries something strange starts happening. Everyone around me starts looking like giant French fries

I rubbed my eyes because I thought I was going crazy but sure enough I wasn’t. So I run into this crazy old guy I know named Chill Bill who tell me that I have a case of Potatomonomous from eating too many fries. He then gave me a tomato and a protein bar and told me when I eat them both I’ll be cured, he was right. Looks like I’ll be off fries for a minute.
