(Sent in by a friend)
An old Italian man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his
tomato garden, but it was very hard work as the ground was hard.
His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man
wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.
Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty badly because it looks like I won’t be able to plant
my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a
garden plot.
I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be
happy to dig the plot for me.
Love, Dad
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Dad,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where I buried the bodies.
Love, Vinnie
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 Dad,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the
circumstances.
Love you, Vinnie
