 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.1 h" Z! ^& t" e' c5 `# n

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,6 u5 ^2 z* C7 H& L# ?6 q( U$ S
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.9 v4 j7 q. h; L' M4 n! g- g. M; }1 n8 `

Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried.

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.0 ^. W1 O/ y1 c5 R$ v1 n4 |3 Z0 X

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