Father & Son

An old arab man lives in the US for 40 years now.
He would love to plant some potatoes in his backyard, but he's alone and to weak.
One day he writes his son, who studies in Paris, an email...

"Dear Ahmed,
I am saddened because I would like to plant some potatoes in my backyard but I'm to old... if you'd be here I am sure you could help me getting it done

Your loving fatther"

His son responds imediately

"Dear Father,

please do not dig in the backyard and do not touch anything. Remember we hid "it" there

I love you

your son"


Six hours later the Arab's house was surrounded by the FBI, Marines, the Army and some Airforce helicopters were cycling around his property. The man swarmed the backyard, combing through the land to find the hidden thing. After not finding anything worthwhile they left the property disappointed.

On the same evening the old Arab receives another letter from his son saying

"Dear Father

I hope the backyard is dug up now and you can plant your potatoes.
It was the most I could do from here.

I love you

your son"
