What kind of vegetable?

[parrythis]

So..... I'm driving my S.O. to the hospital where she is going to have her knee operated on. They're going to go in and remove the pre-patella bursa and a bunch of road gravel that has been in there since her motorcycle accident four years ago. She is telling me of the day's schedule and how we will start off by signing the necessary paperwork.

"What necessary paperwork?" I say.

She says, "The paperwork that empowers you to authorize pulling the plug in case something goes wrong with the procedure. You know - so I don't have to spend the rest of my life as a vegetable."

"Oh." I say as I think to myself, then ask, "So... if you WERE to spend the rest of your life as a vegetable, what kind of vegetable would you like to be?"

Without skipping a beat, she responds, "A carrot."

Immediately, I ask, "You mean like one of those giant evil carrots that attacked the Robinsons on the old 'Lost in Space' series?"

"Yes!", she says.

So, there you have it. The burning question of the day. As an encore to my previous thread that asked, "What kind of animal would you be?", I now present you with...

If you were a vegetable, what kind of vegetable would you be?

Me? I'd probably be a hot pepper - smooth on the outside, spicy on the inside.

(Hey - give me a break - it's 4:50pm on a Friday afternoon and I'm bored.)

Isn't a pepper a fruit?

I would be a brussel sprout. Not that I can pin any anthropomorphic traits to them, they just happen to be my favorite vegatable.

Rutabaga...all the way.

Spaghetti squash - complicated

Fresh cucumber - rub me the wrong way and you get little spiny things attacking you.

If that was unavailable, I'd be bok choi. I like saying "bok choi".

RL,

You'll never know how hard it was to resist a sarcastic comment on your eggplant statement.

You too Brian??? I've been trying to be good as well!

...mulignon?

[Fencergrl]

Naw... nothing rude like that from me... I just thought it was funny you picked a vegetable that was soooo white... sure it's dark on the outside but it has more white to it than anything else.

[ReverseLunge]

Thank you for making me an honorary white man.

[Fencergrl]

My pleasure... my little eggplant.

[ReverseLunge]

My eggplant would split you in two.

If it looks like an eggplant, I would think you should see a doctor (in fact if it resembles any vegetable you've got a problem).

Hehehehe... this just reminds me of the last comedian we had for Comedy Night at bmc.. he told us his girlfriend asked him this and he said he'd be a 14 inch cucumber in a women's prison....

Personally I wouldn't want to be a vegetable. I'm far too fruity for that. I'd be a tomato.

[cornflower]

Not a vegetable, but a fruit. I would like to be a Pear Apple.

[melihop]

[Go? Fencing?]
