I recieved this e-mail today. I thought I would share. Enjoy!

"An old gentleman lived alone in Chicago. 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 am 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"

Too cute!

LOL. Do I have any relatives in prison? Mom, what did you
say Grandpa did for a living, anyhow?
