No Matter

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato
garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped

him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned

his situation:



Dear Son,

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

my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because

your mother always loved planting time. 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, 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 asked 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 from here."
