Joke of the day
Now this is ingenuity! - supposedly based on a true story...
An old Maori man lived alone at his family home in Ruatoria. He wanted to dig his kumara garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, Hone, who used to help him, was in Paremoremo prison.
The man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.
Kia ora e Hone,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my kumara garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.
Aroha nui
Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Hey Pa,
For God's sake!, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the BODIES.
Love Hone
At 4am the next morning, Gisborne C.I.B and the local police showed up with a search warrant and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies.
They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the man received another letter from his son.
Hey Pa
Go ahead and plant the Kumara. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love Hone
