Empty potato skins are collected from rubbish bins by specially trained squirrels. Then, they can be sold to people who want to disguise things as potatoes.

o.k. for things that are the same size and shape as potatoes but I think you overlook the advantages of other vegetables. carrots would be a good disguise for <cough> perhaps not ... and onions for smaller things and cabbages for kings...

moomin, honey. are you feeling alright?

i like to eat the potato skins. not after they've been in the bin though

I was unaware there are people who don’t eat them. Around here you can order just the skins, as an appetizer at restaurants.

I'm fine, thank you [po], I was just in a very silly mood earlier. Although even now several hours later I still find myself giggling at it, so there's a chance that it's actually funny.

....and why is it everyone's skimmed straight over the small matter of...'the squirrels'
-- daaisy, Nov 11 2005


yeah the squrrel dimenstion is a bit disturbing...
-- shinobi, Nov 12 2005


Well, they're definitly cute.

I'd like to disguise how much I like this idea.
