Dirty Vegetable Puns

NASA decided to send a vegetable to space. After the rough takeoff the spud soiled himself.

Operation Spud-Nik turned violent when the astronauts, due to unforeseen circumstances, ran out of food. It wasn't long before the five guys came up with a plan. They unearthed him and gouged his eyes out. As unappealing as it sounded, spud was sliced up, fried and eaten. Noone seemed to mind a little assault. Sometimes spaceflight is unpredictable and dirty sacrifices must be made.

We were out in the field for my vegetation ecology class, and my professor asked the question "why are microryzae fungus so important for trees" and I said, well to be honest they're just trying to be fungis! Long story short I got a dirty look from my professor... I hope I pass the class.
