   Uh... do you sing the goober pea song when you eat them?   
   Wait.  Don't answer that.   
      
   Do they taste any better than store bought goobers?   
      
   I also heard rumor that they add nitrogen to the   
   soil and are great to rotate nitrogen hungry plants   
   through.   
      
   Don't get me wrong.  I do like goober peas myself, but   
   not enough to sing songs about them.  And the name   
   cracks me up.  I don't think I will be able to call   
   the peanuts ever again.
