Why is it that turnips are so inherently funny? Carrots and cabbage can make a good joke, but it's hard to make a bad joke if it has the word "turnip" in it.

I dunno, I think rutabagas are funnier that turnips. And bok choy is a gut buster, no matter how you slice it. ;D

Artichokes are no laughing matter, however.

Purple artichokes can be, though.

However, it is better to be a turnip then a squash... just saying!
