>I am feeling pretty bad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my

>you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.

>Love, Dad

>Shortly, the old man received this telegram, "For HEAVEN'S SAKE, Dad, don't
>dig up the garden! That's where I buried the GUNS!"
>
>At 4 A.M. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers
>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, "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best
>I could do for you at this time."
