An aging man lived alone in Ireland. His only son
was in Long Kesh Prison, and he didn't know
anyone who would spade up his potato garden.
The old man wrote to his son about it, and
received this reply, "For HEAVENS SAKE, don't
dig up that garden, that's where I buried the
GUNS!"

At 4 A.M. the next morning, a dozen British
soldiers showed up and dug up the entire garden,
but didn't find any guns.

Confused, the man wrote to his son telling him
what happened and asking him what to do next.
His son's reply was: "Just plant your
potatoes."
