I have an idea for a new line of winter clothing. I am sure you will agree with me that the one thing we all want to do in winter is stay warm. When it is extremely cold, to really keep in the heat, we put on lots of layers or a thick, heavy coat. I think my new clothing line will put an end to layering and big coats. My idea: winter clothing made out of potato skins.
I know, it may sound weird, but you have to go with me on this. Back in the olden days, people used to bake potatoes and put them in their pockets, to keep their hands warm for hours. So, a baked potato retains lots of heat. But then, we look at french fries. Nothing gets colder, faster then french fries. Baked potatoes and french fries are both potatoes, right? So, what is the difference? The difference is the potato skin. A baked potato still has the skin on, so the insides stay extremely warm. French fries, the skin is either removed or sliced and diced, thus they get cold quickly. So, there must be some magical warmth keeper inside the skin of potatoes!
So, I figure, making clothes out of potato skins is a great idea. Besides keeping you warm, look at the other advantages: 1) It would be extremely thin. 2) It would come in a nice brownish/tan color. 3) You would never have to wonder where some smell is coming from. It will be you! 4) If you get lost in the middle of nowhere and just so happen to have some cheese, bacon crumbles, sour cream, and chives, you can have yourself a nice little snack until help arrives! I really think I might be on to something here.

I didn't realize you are so into the "green" thing. You didn't even mention biodegradable. Personally, I think I will continue having my potatoes mashed, fried, baked, or scalloped, but I'm not one to "hash brown" a good idea.
That's funny.
