An aging man lived alone in Ireland. His only son was in Long Kesh Prison, and he didn't know anyone who would spade up his potato garden. The old man wrote to his son about it, and received this reply, "For HEAVENS SAKE, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the GUNS!!!!!" At 4 A.M. the next morning, a dozen British soldiers showed up and dug up the entire garden, but didn't find any guns. Confused, the man wrote to his son telling him what happened and asking him what to do next.

His son's reply was: "Just plant your potatoes."
Answer
hahahaha i get it!!! Well, since the old man had no one to go dig on the garden, the son wrote the letter so the soldiers could go dig ("looking for the guns") and make the holes and once they did, and found no guns, the land was ready to plant the potatoes!!!!!!! hahahaha.. get it??
Answer2
because the guard read the letter saying dont dig up the garden, a dozen army soldiers did, so the dad didn't have to do any digging up the garden to plant to potatoes, the army done it for him so all he had to do was plant them :)
Answer3
simple,the prison guard read through the letters he sends,and cause he said he buried guns,they come searching for them,thus spading the garden for him
but the son obviously lied in the letter
Answer4
It's funny because Ireland had the potato famine, so potatoes can't grow in Ireland.
Answer5
The Army intercepted the reply {as the son knew they would} and dug the garden for the old man, hoping to find guns
Answer6
The son had tricked the soldiers into digging up the potato field
Answer7
neither do i
Answer8
Let me tell you the same joke but with the FBI version so you might understand it.


A Muslim living on a farm somewhere in California writes an email to his son who is studying abroad in Europe:
"Dear son, I hope your studies are going well. Me and your mother really miss you. I know your studies are important but I wish you were here these days. I am getting old as you know and its very hard for me to plow the land. Anyway son, don't worry about these matters.
I love you"

The email reply comes a few hours later saying:
"Dear father. My studies are going great. You know it was always my dream to study chemistry and engineering. Regarding the land, I would not advise plowing it since you might accidentally break the plutonium cases I have hidden there. You know the ones I have been saving to make the bomb.
Anyway father, don't worry about these matters.
I love you"

Not many hours pass since the mail when 4 FBI vans arrive at the farm and 20 agents proceed to rummage the entire estate, digging up all the land and, when they found nothing, they left.

The father, anxious about this whole thing writes again to his son:
"Dear Son. the FBI was just here asking questions and they proceeded to rummage through our land digging the entire field. Fortunately they found nothing. What is wrong son?"
To which his son replied.
"There was nothing to find father. But regardless, I am sure the land is properly plowed now and you can proceeded with planting! You can always count on the FBI to intercept mail from Muslims!
I love you!"
