Tomato

An elderly Italian man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his tomato garden but it was very hard work and he was old and tired. His only son, Vincenzo, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

"Dear Vincenzo,
Ima feela pretty bad 'causa looks like I wona be able to planta my tomato garden dis year. Ima getting old. Ifa you were here, my troubles she woulda be over. I know you woulda dig da garden fo me.
Love, U Papa"

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

"Dear Papa,
I'd do anything for you Papa, except dig up that garden. That's where I buried the bodies.
Love, Vinnie"

At 4:00 AM the next morning, FBI and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. The same day the old man received another letter from his son.

"Dear Papa,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love, Vinnie"
