- Add one little bit on the end... Think of 'potatoe,' how's it spelled?
- You're right phonetically, but what else...? There ya go... all right!
- -- Vice President Dan Quayle correcting a student's
- correct spelling of the word "potato" during
- a spelling bee at an elementary school in Trenton.
