Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
An aging man lived alone in Ireland. His only son was in Long Kesh Prison, and he didn't know anyone who would spade up his potato garden. The old man wrote to his son about it, and received this reply, "For HEAVENS SAKE, 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, but didn't find any guns. Confused, the man wrote to his son telling him what happened and asking him what to do next.
His son's reply was: "Just plant your potatoes."

um...I don't...get it...
...am I dumb?
SO the old man who didn't have the strength to spade his own garden...wrote to his son, who was in prison (so all his mail gets read before it goes out.) The British soldiers reading the mail performed a raid to find the guns in the garden. Only there were no guns the son was just really clever. See if the British soldiers dug up the garden to find the guns the old man wouldn't have to "spade" his own garden cause they did all the work.
Hence the punchline...
Ummmm hope this explanation helps, if it doesn't let me know. :)
