Tomatoes
An elderly man wanted to plant a tomato garden but it was difficult work as the ground was hard.

His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison.

The elderly man wrote a letter to his son:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling sad because I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm too old
already. I know if you were here, you would happily 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 the garden. That's where the bodies are buried.

Love,
Vinnie

At 4 am the next morning, FBI agents and police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the elderly man and left.

That day, another letter from his son arrived:

Dear Papa,

Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.

Love you,
Vinnie
