An old man lived alone in Idaho, with his only son, Bubba

An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to
spade his potato garden, but it was very hard
work. His only son, Bubba, who used to help him,
was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his
son and described his predicament.

----------------
Dear Bubba:
----------------
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. 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, Bubba

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI 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. It's the best
I could do under the circumstances.

Love, Bubba
