SARASOTA, FL - A Suncoast man says he has a potato that's shaped like a manatee.
Sarasota resident Len Higley tells ABC 7 that he picked the tuber from a bin of loose potatoes at the Publix on Fruitville Road near Honore Avenue. He says that as he sorted through them, that his eyes went right to the potato and immediately thought it looked like one of the endangered vegetarian mammals.
Higley purchased the potato a brought it home, but says he's not going to eat it.
Putting it on Ebay has crossed his mind, but not sure what he's going to do with it.

The only reason it looks like a manatee is because it's in Florida. Now if you were is Wyoming....

Man, just yesterday, I was at Starbuck’s, a few doors down from that Publix, and I saw cucumber shaped like a submarine.
I should have picked it up.

Had it been found by a devout Catholic it would have been identified as a likeness of the Virgin Mary. This guy must be a Baptist.

Great! By the end of March I’ll have my seed potatoes in the store. Then I’ll be spending all my time sorting through them to find ones that I can sell on eBay!

Had it been found by a NARAL gal it would be a fetus that needs to be aborted.
