This is a science joke.
One scientist says to Another scientist, Is a potato a fruit or a vegetable?
Another Scientist looks puzzled.
One Scientist says "Neither".
I can tell you one thing, those scientist are a crazy, happy bunch.
Actually, in the biological science world, there is no such term as a vegetable. The world is used ubiquitously in the food world for something that hangs on a plant. There is a vegetative state that currently describes my attitude at work.
In the plant world, almost every seed bearing ornament, an apple or an orange, a pumpkin or a squash is technically a "fruit". So you say what is a potato or an onion? A root. What is a guava or a pineapple? A fruit of course. If I was a plant, my testicles would be a fruit because they contain the workings for the next generation. They could never be considered a vegetable or a root, well almost never. Well, there was that one time in Vegas but I got paid for that.
The Fruit of the Loom guys are three fruits and a leaf. NO this incident was not in Vegas, this was in Cleveland and there was a leopard skin leotard involved. "Fruiting body" is a more technical term which encapsulates more function with description.
