Old Man

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 hiden '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, Ahmed."
