re: downside Two carrots were walking down the road (which is not a thing carrots are wont to do, unless they wont to). Unfortunately, despite what your mother told you might come about if you eat carrots, these carrots did not have very good eyesight, and neither did a certain driver, who accidentally ran over one of the carrots. The injured carrot was taken to the hospital (via the shortest root possible). His friend spent hours pacing around the waiting room, worried sick. Finally, the doctor entered, and informed the carrot that he had (I know this will be a big surprise) some Good News and some Bad News. The carrot begged the doctor to tell him everything. "The good news," the doctor began, claiming the only quote in this story, "is that your friend is going to live. The bad news is he's going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life."
