An old Arab has been living near New York for more than 40 years.

He would like to plant potatoes in his garden, but he is alone, old, and weak. His son is studying in Paris. He writes an email to his son explaining the problem: "Dear Ahmed, I am very sad because I cannot plant potatoes in my garden. I'm sure if you were here, you could help me and dig up the garden for me. I love you. Your father."

The next day, the old man receives an email: "Dear Father, please don't touch the garden. That's where I hid the thing! I love you too. Ahmed."

At 4 a.m., the US Army, the Marines, the FBI, the CIA, and the RANGERS arrive at the old man's house. They search everywhere, tear the whole garden apart, search every inch, but find nothing. Disappointed, they leave.

The next day, the old man receives another email from his son: "Dear Dad, I hope you've dug up the garden by now and can plant the potatoes. That's all I could do for you. I love you. Ahmed."
