Summary
There's nothing peculiar about a load of potatoes going to market?but we knew something was wrong when the spuds suddenly came to life!

It started with a load of potatoes.

Joe Loftus and I were driving the big semi-trailer back from Montauk that night after delivering a load of fishing gear to one of the big resorts out there and wondering if we'd be able to pick up a truckload of anything on the way back to increase the take when Joe spotted this sign.
