[edit] History
The first yam was discovered in the shoe of Charles VIII, whose manservant exclaimed, "Oi, there's a yam in the king's shoe!" Soon afterwards, yams were popping up all over the goddamned place. Why, you couldn't even go down to the liquor store at 2 AM without stepping on one. Then they'd get all in your face like "Hey, what are you stepping on me for? I oughtta sock you one!" Then you have to shoot them, because there's nothing worse than a yam getting in your face (except maybe 2 yams).
The evolution of the yam was first described by Thaddeus P. McMuffinguddyappacockcockcock in 1909. Before that, yams were perilously lacking in descriptions of their evolution. In remembrance, yams celebrate Thaddeus P. McMuffinguddyappacockcockcock Day whenever they get around to it, which is usually on New Year's Day. You probably haven't noticed the celebrating yams before because you've been too hung over.
[edit] The War of the Yams
Due to a misunderstanding involving the price of beef, two factions of yams declared war on each other on November 15, 1955. This war lasted about 20 minutes because, frankly, yams suck at fighting. The occasion is remembered occasionally by geeky yams who don't have anything better to do.
The events of this war were dramatized in the popular film The Silence of the Yams.
[edit] Yam Rights
In 1967, yams marched on Washington to demand equal rights. They haven't gotten any, but they were given a nice watch by President Chevy.

[edit] Yammers
A strange phenomenon that has occurred recently with the advent of the Internet is a group of people who obsess over yams and even dress up as them. These are known as yammers. Mostly yammers just want to have sex with yams because they're a bunch of freaky fetishists.
[edit] Yambusters
In the mid-1980s the yam problem in New York City was so great that a group of unhygenic men in their 20s, known as the Yambusters, took it upon themselves to rid the city of all yams by means of small nuclear reactors. This resulted in countless mental birth defects in people born during that period, as can easily be seen today.
[edit] Yam soda
Yam soda was invented by Primus in the 1950s. While the public was initially skeptical that a soda made out of yams would taste any good, soon enough they remained skeptical. However, after an extensive marketing campaign, they continued to be skeptical. Les Claypool was sad.
[edit] Yam Day
As if yams needed another day, in 1999 the United States Congress made Yam Day an official holiday. On this day, March 17th, yams are celebrated and remembered for their achievements. Some people think this is not enough and declare, "Every day is Yam Day!" No one really listens to them, although their children have to follow along. Poor children.
