Hand Cut

I was reading a menu the other day and came across wording that is commonly used. The item said "Hand Cut Fries". For some reason this struck me as being funny. How else are fries cut? With our feet? Even if a machine slices them we need our hands to put the potatoes into the machine. Either way our hands are involved. Why does the saying hand cut make the potato more appealing. I was with my sister and we decided to get out a potato and a knife and take a picture of her toes slicing the potato. It was a funny picture that would have been a novelty on a menu. "Toe Cut Fries". Yummy.
