Italian Tomato Garden

[andmcit]

An old Italian lived alone in Chicago. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden,
but it was very difficult 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 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 if you were here my troubles would be over. 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 that garden!!! That's where the bodies are buried!!
Love,
Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a swarm of FBI agents and local police arrived
and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They eventually
apologized 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's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie

And it's NOT a rude joke either!!

Very good I seem to remember something with the same theme in 'Two way stretch' with Peter Sellers, if your old enough to remember.
