George is trying to get someone to dig up his garden for him. My Grandpa
buried his money in a mason jar during the 1930s, so he and Grandma could
take a winter vacation (he was a farmer). Time for the vacation, dig up
the money. Ouch! The ground was frozen solid. The bank he didn't trust
had to lend him the money. Never did that again. Margaret
