An old Arab man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato plot, but it was very hard work. His only son, Abdul, who used to help him, was being held by the FBI for suspected aiding and abetting terrorists.
.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.
.
Dear Abdul,
.
I am feeling pretty sad because it looks like I won't able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a the plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would help to dig the land for me.
.
Your Dad,
Mohammad.

A few days later he received a letter from his son.
.
Dear Dad,
.
.
For heaven's sake, don't dig up that plot, that's where I buried the "powder" and weapons.
.
.
Love,
Abdul.

At 4:00 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any weapons. They apologized to the old man and left.
.
.
That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
.
Dear Dad,
.
I hope you can now go ahead and plant the potatoes. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
.
.
.
Love,
Abdul
