Friday Funnies #17 The FBI And Poor Old Pop

Another good email joke, one that I have heard before, but it is a good one and therefore deserves a bit more exposure.

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.

That same day the old man received another letter 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
