The Potato Garden

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

Dear Fred, 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; 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, Fred

At 4 am the next morning, FBI agents and local police
arrived 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. That's the best I
could do under the circumstances.
Love, Fred
