    An old man lived alone in Ireland. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in Long Kesh Prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his predicament. Shortly After, he received this reply, "For HEAVEN'S SAKE, Dad, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the GUNS!" At 4 A.M. the next morning, a dozen British soldiers showed up and dug up the entire garden, without finding any guns. Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asking him what to do next. His son's reply was: "Now plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best I could do at this time." Regards, Brian Dela :-)

Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number, it's number is Six hundred and sixty six

                  You've fallen for the anti bob-dole potatoe pit-trap with the subject line (Potato is singular, no e, Potatoes is plural, with an e) ;P Good joke, btw :) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
