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 them?" 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."
