I yam what I yam and that’s all that I yam.

The Incredible Edible Yam! Wham Bam, Thank You, Yam!

A yam factory?

She’s yammering on about something…

Can you make Yam Jam? Bam a lam?

As always, the Armenians are left out!

This kinda reminds me of Popeye. You know, I yam what I yam.

Starting at the top and counter clock wise: YAMS were an early deity-absolutely. Early man/women used YAMS as food-okay. Wars were fought over YAMS-sure thing. Factories built to mass produce YAMS-YES! Statues of the great YAM- no problem. Science discovered secret properties of YAMs-‘about time’. However, I wonder what you hear when you place a YAM to your ear?

Really?

And those are only the family approved things yams are good for, there’s a whole book on the kinky stuff. (so I was told)

Shouldn’t there be an image of someone playing an ocarina?

Is that Groucho Marx in the third panel on top telling a yam joke?

An ode to Pop-eye, “I yam what I yam”………nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk……..

At last; information I can use.
