• Buried Bodies •

- An old retired man wanted to plant his tomato garden, but it was very difficult work.
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 up 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 am the next morning, the police arrived and dug up the entire area, but without finding any bodies.
They apologised to the old man and left.
  The next day, the old man received another letter.

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