An elderly Italian lived alone in a rural upstate part of New York. He wanted to plant his tomato garden for spring, but it was very hard work as the ground was hard. His only son, Vinnie, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Vincenzo,

I am feeling pretty bad 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 the garden plot. If you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.

Love, Dad

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Dad,

Don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the BODIES.

Love, your loving son, Vincenzo

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and after working all day digging up the entire garden area and not finding anything, they left.

That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Dad,

Go ahead and plant the tomatoes, that's the best I could do under the circumstances.

Love, Vincenzo

 

 

 

True story, BTW.

 

I give it a 7.5/10 on the factor.
