Just remember - next November, no more hassles, no voting, just your financial support to the `Old Dick Tater Ship Party,’ better known as the humble Richard Potato Boat Organization. United we stand, divided you fall.

A man finds himself as the cook on a ship…

A man finds himself as the cook on a ship that has just set off on a voyage. He does a quick survey of the kitchen. Everything seems good except in the pantry he finds several bags of potatoes that are all shaped like penises. “That’s weird,” he thinks as he goes and finds the captain.
 
“Hey, captain, what’s with all the potatoes looking like penises. I don’t like it,” he says.
 
The captain replies, “Well you can’t change it. This is a dictatorship.”
