Diggin up bones

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 The prison officials read the letter and 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
