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 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, don't dig up that garden! That's where I buried the
BODIES.
Love,  Fred

At 4 o'clock 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
