WASHINGTON - First lady Michelle Obama was getting the laughs last night. She did a Top 10 list for David Letterman.

Number-six on the list of "fun facts" about gardening: "The largest zucchini ever grown contained a Starbucks."
  

Number-five: "Later this year the Supreme Court will finally rule on `tomato' vs. `tomahto."'
  

And the number-one fact: "With enough care and effort you can grow your own Barack-oli."

Mrs. Obama then got a big laugh when she held up a prop broccoli stalk shaped to look like the president's head.

The first lady was on the "Late Show" to promote her new book, "American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America."
