Subject: Italian logic


An old Italian man lived alone in the country.

He wanted to dig his tomato garden but it was very hard work as
the
ground was too hard.

His only son Vincenzo, 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
am getting too old to be
digging up a garden plot.

If you were here,
my troubles would be over. I know you would dig
the garden for me.


Love, Papa



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


Dear Papa,

I'd do anything for you Papa, except dig
up that garden. That's
where I buried the bodies.

Love, Vinnie



At 4 a.m. The next morning, FBI and local police arrived and
dug
up the entire area without finding any bodies.

They apologized to
the old man and left.

The 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
