Are Potatoes Lazy?

Potatoes aren't lazy in my house, they waste no time in sprouting wherever I put them.
I suppose lazy people are called couch potatoes because of their shape, it's an insult to a potato.
Potato's take awhile to grow...so maybe its cause as you sit down doing nothing you grow bigger as a potato does
the most noble of vegetables

I sing this song for you then!
Here it goes:
WHEN YOU SHOULD ASK A DOUBLE TIME, HEY, ARE POTATOES LAZY!? AND SOME SAY NO....
CHORUS:
OH, YEAH! THEY MEAN IT! AND IF THEY MEAN IT BELIEVE IT AND DREAM ON!
WHEN OTHER SAYS YES OH YES YOU SHOULD BELIEVE IT TOO YES YOU SHOULD. (I SHOULD?) YES YOU SHOULD!
-repeat chorus-
maybe because potatoes are round and fat? so the more you sit on the couch the fatter and rounder you get....
of course they are they dont move much do they?

My mother used to call me a lazy sausage!
i think the expression stems from an old t.v. advert years ago . if you remember as a child you could buy a kit to dress potatoes with to play.."mr potato head" and such like and these were used in some old adverts.
No they are always sprouting shoots. The most active veggy. People are called couch potatos cause of the roundish or ovalish or pearish shapes potatos grow in. Also because of the habit of eating in front of the T.V which is usually potato chips. Me I eat while at the computer often.. Maybe I should be called a computer potato! I seldom watch TV not much good on it! One has to get cable to get good programs and even most of them are reruns!
TV isn't worth my Time!
