Tomato Garden

An old Iraqi man lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work as the ground was hard.

His only son, Ali, who used to help him, was in Iraq. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Ali,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.

Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bombs are buried.

Love, Ali

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any weapons. They apologized to the old man and left.

That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do from where I am.

Love you, Ali

Very nicely done Blue....:smiley-laughing021::smiley-laughing021::smiley-laughing021::patriot:

Nice... sad thing is, it would be that easy to do it that way too... LOL..

The effectiveness sounds like our current homeland security. Day late, dollar short, and have no idea who the real bad guys are.

Lol. that was great.:smiley-laughing021::smiley-laughing021::smiley-laughing021:
