Italians and what they will do for family
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.
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.
Later,That same day the old man
received a telegram 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
