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 bad 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. 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 Dad,
Not for nothing, but 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, Vinnie
