Wisdomville held an annual fair where Joe was invited to give a speech. This year, the theme was "man's place in the universe." Naturally, Joe had no clue what to say, so he grabbed the nearest object for inspiration _a photo.
Standing before the crowd, Joe held up the spud and proclaimed, " Man is like this potato: versatile, simple, yet full of potential."
The audience erupted in applause. Fred, still bitter about the chicken debacle, whispered," what does that even mean?"
Joe overheard and replied, "it means that if you question wisdom, you risk looking like a fool. Do you want to argue with a potato, Fred?"
Fred backed down, and the potato became a town symbol. Tourists soon arrived to see the " Scared spud," and the town's economy boomed. Joe's legend grow even larger.
