Dear son,

I'm feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato in the garden this year. I am just getting too old to be digging up 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 Son

At 4 a.m. the next morning, F.B.I. 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. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.

Love Son
