Helping Papa in the Garden
An old Italian gentleman 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 Papa,
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 Papa,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you, Vinnie

Aww thats awsome
LOL. Does anyone know for sure if this is true or not? My first thought was that it’s fake, but still….
I thought it was fake too! But it was also a news article and I started pissing myself when it came up on my blog
hahah
Did this really happen? if so, then that family of elderly men sounds very interesting…………………
Thats just to nice!
intresting……creepy
You suck vincent
aaawwwww
haha genius!
whattt i dont get it???? thers no ending, someone explain it plz.
Vincent i guess told the fbi thats where the bodies of the people he murdered or whatever so they went there to investigate the bodies but Vincent told the fbi that so that hes grandfather wouldnt have to dig
He lied saying that he hid bodies of who he killed there and FBI digged the place so his father can plant tomatoes LMFAO!!!! XD
The prison gaurds check the mail and they read it, so Vinnie wrote that that was where the bodies wre, because he knew that the police would go dig up the garden. The soil was loosened and so papa easily planted the tomatoes.
awwwwwwwwwwwww sooooooo sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats fricken sweet
What a good son
he went to jail just so he can have the police dig up the whole place
He couldn’t dig the garden up himself so he lied and said there were bodies there. The police came and looked for the bodies and there were none. In doing that the son effectively had the police dig the garden up for him.
I luv u the grandson. So sweet. I hope u get out of jail soon God bless ur soul
the commenters of this all must be 12
so swee, the best son
smaert man
i heard this before but it was different a husband was in jail and his wife wanted to plant a garden so he tricked the cops into doing it
Aaawwkk!! His son is so sweet! ^.^
WOW!!! XD Brilliant! XD
I see. The guards read vinnie’s letter and investigated, hence digging up the ground in doing so
i don’t get it
?:
It’s easy! Vinnie said that the bodies are buried in the garden and in the prison the mail is verified. When the police arrived they start dig up hoping to find some corpses but they digged the garden for the tomatoes without knowing
that would be cool
Why is tere an advert for porn on this?… awkward…
