TOMATOES:
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 hard and he was arthritis, nearing 80.
His only son, Vincent, who at one timeused to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son in which he carefully described his predicament:
Dear Vincent, my dear boy
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 I just cannot do it, and if you were here, you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days. Ah, my son...I miss you. What can I do?
Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Oh my goodness, oh no...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. God will bless you and your tomatoes...
See you soon
Love you
Vinnie
