An old Arab women lived in the US, and desperately wanted a vegetable garden to plant some potatoes, but was too elderly and frail to dig the bed herself.
Her son was studying in France, so she sent him an email one day, describing her frustration and dissapointment at not being able to plant her potatoes.
"Dearest son,
I write to you and am utterly devastated at not being able to plant my potatoes. I really wish you were here, as i know if you were here, you would dig up the garden for me to plant the potatoes.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
Your loving mother. "
The next day, she received a response from her son;
"dear mother,
Please do not dig up the garden, or you will find THE THING.
Love,
Your son Mohamad. "
A few hours after receiving this email, the old women's home was raided by US marines, FBI, CIA, NSA and the Army. They immediately went to the garden and began stifling through it.
A couple of hours later, they left dissapointed, not having found a thing.
The old lady sat down on her computer to find an email from her son.
"Dear mother,
By now, you should have a nicely dug up garden. This is all i can do from here.
Your loving son,
Mohamad. "
