GOOD FOR THE EYES

I love carrots. Except for Carrot Top, the comedian. I used to like him somewhat when they had a tv short-lived show called Make Me Laugh. And he did for awhile. I think I stopped liking him when he made commercials. You see I don't like very many commercials at all.

But I like carrots. I don't care if they are the baby ones that are soft and kinda sweet or the huge ones that really crack when you snap them off with your bicuspids. Some even taste like nuts if you chew them long enough, but not all are like that. I even like cooked carrots. Oh, I didn't used to, but now I do.

Carrot salad with pineapple jello was a favorite that my mom made, and I still like that, too. Carrots shredded and on top of salads--ditto.

So what Popeye did for spinach, old Bugs did for carrots. And I bought it.
