An old
man lived alone in Minnesota.
He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His
only son, who would have helped him, was
in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned
his predicament.
Shortly, he received this reply, "For heaven's sake, Dad, DON'T DIG UP
THAT GARDEN, that's where I buried the GUNS!"
At 4 A.M. the next morning, a dozen police showed up and dug up the
entire garden, without finding any guns.
Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what
happened, and asking him what to do next.
His son's reply was: "Now plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best
I
could do from in here!"
