Irish Humor - What to do about people reading your mail - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

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."

Why exactly would British soldiers show up??? - Please explain!

Theres a group of Irish Terrorists that don't want to be a part of the UK or whatever the correct term is. So they carry out attacks and what not and get arrested.

Yes, the I.R.A. - But it makes no sense for the British Soldiers to show up! - The U.K has nothing to do with anything else in Ireland apart from the North! - The "Joke" is completely useless.

Oh wah wah. It was still funny.

It's an old joke. If you want relevance, replace 'mail' with 'Gmail', 'in prison' with ' hiding from the law' , and 'British soldiers' with 'Homeland Security Forces' (for the US anyway). Only then it's not so funny and it's not Irish enough for St. Patrick's Day.

The timeless point of the joke is if you know people are reading your mail, then give them what you want them to read.
