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 Junebugg Jankins the 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 Juneb ugg 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
Junebugg III.
