Sometimes, there's a post that's so poorly phrased it spawns a thread of absolute belly laughs.
This is one of those threads, courtesy the Associated Press:
The Associated Press (@AP) ~ Al Roker's Sweet Potato Poon, a delicious dish with a side of mystery.

I know ... I know ... that mystery ingredient must be tuna fish!
Look, this writer loves her some sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving.
She's never heard it referred to as that, before. It's apparently an old-fashioned term for sweet potato casserole, but we highly recommend not Googling it.
I'm no chef, but the term they may have been looking for is "pone." But, I have to admit ... AP's version is a whole lot more hilarious.
Sturdy Jenn (@nogooddeed2) ~ The mystery is which intern is getting fired for this headline. Also, I’m canceling Thanksgiving.
The poor lil' guy jest misunderstood, don'tcha think?!
Redneck Rogue Elf (@TheRogue_Elf) ~ I thought the sweet potato poon was when you grab her by her *bleep* ... and then you position your *bleep* in her *bleep* ... and then using a potato you *bleep*, *bleep*, *bleep*. Oh, and don't forget the mayo.
Prison Mitch (@MidnightMitch) ~ Al Roker making the poon:
Kristan Hawkins (@KristanHawkins) ~ "I'll take 'Dishes I Never Ever Want to Ask My Grandmother to Pass at Thanksgiving' for $800, Alex."
Richard DeCamp (@richdecamp) ~
Fettpett (@fettpet) ~ "Poon"
Michael Winter (@Winterborn123) ~ Al Roker's WHAT?!?
