| An elderly Italian man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his tomato garden, but it was 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 – 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 man received another letter from his son. "Dear Dad - Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now; the garden should be ready. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love, Vinnie" |

| Haa haa I heard this one a long time ago, and enjoyed it even more today! We Italianos are a thoughtful bunch! I have a cousin 'vinnie' too, although he ain't in prison-he's my investor! |
