Jonathan Lighter informs us:
>>>
In London today, potato farmers marched on Parliament to demand that the
term "couch potato" be removed from the prestigious _Oxford English
Dictionary_.

The protesting farmers claim that the term demeans the potato and is
offensive.

They demand it be stricken from the language and replaced with the term
"couch slouch."

Call for the masked unbuilder, Jacques Derider!
