Was driving down the road with my wife and came to a stop light. We both witnessed a lone potato rolling down the street through the intersection at a pretty good clip. We both looked at each other, making sure we were seeing what we were seeing and busted out laughing.

I have absolutely no clue where it came from, and to this day remains one of the most random things I've seen and NOONE ever believes me when I mention it.

You're really tempting me to roll potatoes down roads...

...but also if I caused a wreck I'd feel really bad.

The fact that you stopped first makes it hilarious, i think. The thought of it made me laugh out loud.

Pulling up to a stoplight and then seeing a potato when and where you'd expect traffic is way funnier than just seeing a potato unexpectedly.

Where it came from? Isn't a better question who is it going to see and how did it learn traffic patterns?
