  POTATO GARDEN 
  

An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, 
but it was very hard work. His only son, Bubba, who used to help him, 
was in prison. 
 
The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

"Dear Bubba, 
 
"I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to 
" plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old
"to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would 
"be over. I know you would dig the plot for me. 

Love, Dad"

 A few days later, he received a letter from his son: 
  
"Dear Dad, 
 
"For heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried 
"the BODIES. 
 
Love, Bubba" 

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local Police showed up and 
dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to 
the old man and left. That same day, the old man received another 
letter from his son: 
 
"Dear Dad, 

"Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It's the best I could do under the 
"circumstances. 

Love, Bubba"
