An old man, who was living in Idaho, wanted to plant potatoes in his garden, but it was very heavy duty, as he had to dig the soil.

Bubba, his only son, who usually had been helping him to do this, was in prison.

The old man then wrote a letter to his son, in which he described his difficult situation.

Dear Bubba,

I feel very depressed, because it seems to me that, this year, I won’t be able to plant my potatoes in the garden.

I am now too old to dig and plough the soil of the garden.

Would you happen to be there that all my problems would be solved. I know that you would dig & plough the soil of the garden for me.

With Love.

Daddy

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

Dear Daddy,

For heaven’s sake, Daddy, don’t dig in the garden, this is where I have buried the BODIES.

With Love

Bubba

At 4:00 AM, the next morning, a swarm of FBI agents and local police came and started to dig the whole garden inside out without finding any bodies.

Annoyed, they apologized to the old man and left.

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

Dear Daddy,

Go on now, you can plant your potatoes. This is the best I can do considering the current circumstances.

With Love

Bubba

[this story is most certainly valid as well with "email" instead of "letter" !...]

Dear "et33.com",

This is a story about "leverage" & "manipulation", obviously not to be taken to the first degree...

Very nice!
