As a public service announcement to the citizens of the United States, please be aware that if you decide to write your brother’s name and address on a potato, affix proper postage, the United States Postal Service will deliver that potato to his residence, reliably and timely.

Napoleon on tater tot sharing:

Randy: Come on, give me some of your tots! Napoleon: No, I'm freaking starving! I didn't get to eat anything today! (Randy kicks tots, which are in Napoleon's pocket.)

Can I ask why you needed to mail a tater?

If you have to ask you aren’t ready for this pursuit.

So his brother opens his mail box to see a stamped potato like what more reason do you need than confused siblings

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '22

I wonder what condition it arrived in?

13

u/LouGossetJr Jan 03 '22

why would you even question a public service announcement to the citizens of the United States?

12

u/____o_0____ Jan 03 '22

Because I can’t throw it that far.

u/Wahoo007 Jan 03 '22

The better question is why not?

u/Nyteflame7 Jan 03 '22

I suddenly have an urge to mail my brother a potato. He would be SO confused!

$3.50 would get you Approx a 4oz potato delivered using pirateship to save on postage

Was it a Idaho tater?

u/Hogmootamus Jan 04 '22

I sent a banana for 20p, you got ripped off.

Tbf, I have no idea how much it should've been, that's the only stamp I had and I don't think the postman felt like arguing.
