An old man in Idaho

[Elkhunter]

An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his
potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son,
Bubba, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man
wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament: Dear Bubba,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be
able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting
too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here,
all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the
plot for me.
Love, Dad

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

Dear Dad,
For HEAVEN'S SAKE, Dad, don't dig up the garden! That's
where I buried the BODIES!
Love, Bubba

At 4 A.M. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local
police officers showed up and dug up the entire area
without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man
and left. The next day the old man received another letter
from his son:

Dear Dad,
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It's the best I could
do under the circumstances.
Love, Bubba

(I had no idea that anyone named Bubba was that smart.)

I listen to country music, not down home country bumpkins singin while strumming their banjos.

The song is "Wildwood Weed" by Jim Stafford. It was on top of the pop charts in the early 70's. I loved it also and have the 45rpm record around here somewhere or maybe it is at my parents house.

I always like the part about flying up to the telephone pole to get his brother down.
