An old Arab lives close to New York City. He would love to plant potatoes in his garden, but he is old and weak. His son is in college in Paris, so the old man sends him an e-mail. "Beloved son, I am very sad, because I can't plant potatoes in my garden. I am sure if you were here you would help me dig up the garden."

The following day, the old man receives a response e-mail from his son at 3:45 pm: "Beloved father, please don't touch the garden. It's there that I have hidden 'the THING'. Love Ahmed".

At 4:02 pm, the US Army, the Marines, the Rangers, the Police, officers from the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and the CIA, visit the house of the old man, take the whole garden apart, search every inch, but can't find anything. Disappointed they leave.

A 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. Love Ahmed."

Lol, nice twist on an old story: the son in prison does something similar to help his grandfather, because the prison guards read all the mail, etc etc.

It's actually an old Soviet joke, but probably predates that regime.
Not to be too pedantic...

For fuck's sake man! If you are going to take the time to change the background to some gay goddamn color, be sure to also choose an appropriately matching gay FONT color. Here is what that looks like to me:
I'm a fucking wanker


You fail Internet 101.

I don't know what would happen to the guy in the Soviet joke, but knowing today, that son isn't ever coming back into the US from Paris easily, especially thanks to recent court decisions.

Sadly, you're probably right.
