A clever son
An old Arab lives close to New York City for more than 40 years. He would love to plant potatoes in his garden, but he is alone, old and weak. His son is in college in Paris, so the old man sends him an
e-mail

He explains the problem: Beloved son, I am very sad, because I can't plant potatoes in my garden. I am sure, if only you were here, you helped me and dug up the garden for me
I love you
your father

The following day, the old man receives a response e-mail from his son

Beloved father, please don’t touch the garden. It's there that I have hidden
'THE THING'
I love you too
Ahmed


At 4pm the US Army, the Marines, the FBI, the CIA and the Rangers visit the house of the old man, take the whole garden apart, search every inch, but can't find anything
Disappointed they leave the house

Another day later, the old man receives another e-mail from his son

Beloved father, I hope the garden is dug up by now and you can plant your potatoes

That's all I could do for you from here
I love you
