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 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.

 

The next 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
