Hey Judy, I'm afraid I am the one who came up with Okra. I spent some of my growing up years in the South and one of the things that I miss now (I live in Canada now) is pan fried Okra. For whatever reason, whenever asked about veggies it is the first thing that pops into my head. For once I wasn't the only one who gets a giggle out of it. :O) Peace Pat Judy George wrote: > i think we need an agricultural scientist to explain the difference > no idea myself off the cuff > okra just made me giggle who would think of okra > arent we wonderful > thanks darwin for a laugh > judy > > >From: "Hawkins, Darwin" <[log in to unmask]> > >Reply-To: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network > ><[log in to unmask]> > >To: [log in to unmask] > >Subject: Re: FW: Interesting Test > >Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2000 07:14:47 -0500 > > > >Fruits, vegetables, pumpkins, apples, okra?
