I just love this thoughtful story... ;)

> An old man lived alone. He wanted to plant his annual
> tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard.
>
> His only son, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man
> wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
>
> Dear Son,
> I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my
> tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden
> plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would
> be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
> Love, Dad
>
> A few days later he received a letter from his son.
>
> Dear Dad,
> DON'T DIG UP THAT GARDEN!!!! That's where the cash from the robbery is.
> Love,
> Your Son
>
>
> At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up
> the entire area without finding any money. 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 tomatoes now. That's the best I could do.

Love you, Your son ;)
