A Smart Italian:

An elderly Italian man lived alone in New Jersey.

He wanted to plant his Annual Tomato Garden, but

it was very difficult work, since 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, 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 Pop,

Go ahead and plant the Tomatoes now.

That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.

Love you,

Vinnie
