The other night Dan (famous newscaster) Rather was on the Jon (famous fake newscaster) Stewart show and said this:
"Hillary Clinton ran away with it like a hobo with a sweet potato pie"
Typical Dan Ratherism....but that's not the point. The point is Sweet Potato Pie.
Sweet Potato Pie could and should be the next all encompassing catch phrase.
Think about it.
Two planes crash into the World Trade Center and the stunned crowd looks up and says "Sweet Potato Pie!"
The Red Sox win another World Series and the people all over the world leap to their feet screaming "Sweet Potato Pie!"
You're with your lover and just at the moment of truth you scream "Sweet Potato Pie!"
You're the best man at a wedding and have to give the toast....you raise your glass, nod at the bride and groom, and simply say "Sweet Potato Pie!"
You win the lottery...."Sweet Potato Pie!"
You crash up your car...."Sweet Potato Pie!"
You get a paper cut.... "Sweet Potato Pie!"
You're at church and instead of an amen the congregation yells out..."Sweet Potato Pie!"
You need to get rid of some flaky skin on your face you just rub in some Sweet Potato Pie!
And think of history...
As Reagan ends the Cold War by ripping down the Berlin Wall the throngs of adoring Germans scream out Ich Nin Sweet Potato Pie!"
Or JFK..."ask not what your Sweet Potato Pie can do for you....ask what you can do for your Sweet Potato Pie!"
FDR..."The only thing we have to fear is Sweet Potato Pie itself!"
Nixon..."I am not a Sweet Potato Pie!"
Or Bill Clinton...."I. Did Not. Have Sex. With That. Sweet Potato Pie"
(he probably did.)

Okay, now THAT would actually make me go to church!
Mmmmmmm.....pie.
Sweet Potato Pie.
Did you not read the post?
I have a dream that one day every sweet potato pie shall be exalted, every sweet potato pie shall be made low, the sweet potato pies will be made plain, and the sweet potato pies will be made straight, and the glory of the sweet potato pie shall be revealed, and all sweet potato pies shall see it together.
And perhaps see it with vanilla ice cream also.
That's why sweet potato pie is the best su....ah nevermind it's been done.
Sorry!
mmmmm......pumpkin pie.
I have a trademark on that phrase. You'll be hearing from my lawyers.
Dan Quayle just called. He wants the trademark on "Sweet Potatoe Pie."

I know it's not the point, but I adore the thought of a hobo running away with a sweet potato pie.
I've ALWAYS wanted to steal a piping hot pie (with a plume of steam curling up through the air) off a windowsill. Life has never given me an opportunity. Sob.
::looks at Sparkle, thoughtfully::
::discreetly places a phone call::
"Hi, yes, what we talked about? It's happened. Can you send the padded van, as discussed? Bait it with sweet potato pie. Thanks."
::hangs up::
Sparkle! Look, there's a steaming pie sitting on the tailgate of that van! And it's completely unattended!
::giggles::
::sniff:: I'll just wrap up these sweet potato pie crumbs in my polka dot hobo hankie and sidle off into the sunset now. I can't even wipe my tears because my hobo hankie is full of pie. ::sniff::
::giggles::
Sorry Sparkle...I couldn't resist! I tried, honestly, I tried!! Come back!
Sweet Potato Pie! You outdid yourself today Mr. No. I'm gonna start using it immediately.
And NOW Reagan physically TORE DOWN THE WALL HIMSELF???
