In honor of today, I cooked potatoes in oil until they were burnt. How else am I to celebrate this “Black Fry Day” everyone’s talking about?

Fast food places should sell all the old and burnt fries today. Get it? Black Fry Day? No? Anybody got a rope? Let’s call it right there.

Just picked up lunch. I asked the waiter why some of my French fries were burnt. He said it was “Black Fry Day.”
