[lfjokes] Irish potatoes

[Simondo]

An old man lived alone in Ireland. He wanted to spade his potato garden, 
but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was 
in Long Kesh Prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned 
his predicament. Shortly after sending the letter, the father received 
this reply, "For HEAVEN'S SAKE Dad, 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 with 
shovels and dug up the entire garden. They found no munitions. Confused, 
the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened. His 
son's reply was: "Best I could do from here. Now plant your potatoes!"
