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.

His only son,  Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison on RICO charges.  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 Papa,
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  Papa, 
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now.  That's  the best I could do under the
circumstances.     

Love, Vinnie
