This Tickled Me: The Collard Greens Garden

I know I have been missing in action on this blog for a couple of weeks now, as far as posting goes, but this should make up for it.
My mother sent me this and I honestly had to laugh out loud! Enjoy!

The Collard Greens

An old black man lived  alone in the country. He wanted to dig his yearly collard green garden, but it was always very hard work for him because the ground was hard. His only son, Junebug Jankins III, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

 

Dear Junebug Jankins III:
I am feeling pretty bad because it look like I won't be able to plant my collard green garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.

Love  

Dad

A few days later he received a letter from his son
 

Dear Daddy Jankins,
Whatever you do, don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the BODIES.

Love  

Junebug Jankins III
 

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Daddy Jankins,
You can go ahead and plant the collard greens now.. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love  

Junebug III.
