An old man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his potato garden but it was very hard as the ground was very hard.
His only son, Sol, who used to help him, was in prison for insider trading and stock fraud. The old man wrote a letter to his son and discribed his predicament:
Dear Solly:
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I am just too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all of my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love,
Papa
A few days latter the old man received a letter from his son:
"Dear Papa:
For heaven's sake Dad, don't dig up that garden that's where I buried the money and stocks.
Love, Solly."
At 4 am the next morning a team of FBI agents and local police arrived at the old man's house and dug up the entire garden area without finding any money or stocks. They apologived to the old man and left.
That same day the old man received another letter from his son:
"Dear Papa:
Go ahea and plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love, your son

Hungry Monkey
A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking the monkey jumps all around all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them, then jumps on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole.
The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?"
The guy says, "No what?"
"He just ate the cue ball off my pool table, whole!" Says the bartender.
"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the patron. "He eats everything in sight. I will pay for the cue ball and stuff." He finishes his drink, pays his bill and leaves.
Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is drinking his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it.
The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" He asks.
"Now what?" Responds the patron.
"Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and ate it!" says the barkeep.
"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the patron. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that blasted cue ball he measures everything first!"
