An Old Italian lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult 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 sad, 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 you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Pop
Don’t dig up the garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love, Vinnie
At 4:00am the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologised to the old man and left.
That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That is the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love, Vinne
