A prisoner in jail receives a letter from his wife:
“Dear Husband, I have decided to plant some lettuce in the back
garden. When is the best time to plant it?”
The prisoner, knowing that the prison guards read all mail,
replied in a letter:
“Dear Wife, whatever you do, do not touch the back garden. That
is where I hid all the money.”
A week or so later, he received another letter from his wife:
“Dear Husband, You wouldn’t believe what happened: some men came
with shovels to the house, and dug up all the back garden.”
The prisoner wrote another letter back:
“Dear wife, now is the best time to plant the lettuce.”
