An old Italian man lived alone in the country.
He wanted to dig up his garden so he could plant his tomatoes; but it was
very hard work as the ground was so 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,
Do your summer house cleaning stuff, but don't dig 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"
