IRISH INGENUITY

An old man living alone in South Armagh, whose only son was in Long Kesh
Prison, didn't have anyone to dig his garden for his potatoes. 

So he wrote to his son about his predicament.  The son sent the reply,
"For HEAVEN'S SAKE, don't dig the garden up, that's where I buried the
guns!!!!!

At 3 AM the next morning, a dozen British soldiers turned up and dug the
garden for 3 hours, but didn't find any guns. 

Confused, the man wrote to his son telling him what had happened, asking
him what he should do now? 

The son sent the reply: "NOW plant the potatoes!"
