the italian tomato garden
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
