Potato

1. The most ubiquitous thing in the entire world, followed closely by cockroach in second place and sardars (aka sikhs, turbanators) in the third place.

2. When mashed, represents the height of genuine English culinary achievement.

3. The biggest commodity purchase of McDonald's. Used in their "employee induction programs" to fill-up skull cavities.

4. Handy object of comparison. See examples.

"Who is smarter - potato or microsoft?"
"What came first - potato or vodka?"
What's on everyone's mind at the Wimbledon : "Who's got better potatoes?"
