JOKE OF THE WEEK
Tomatoes
 An old Italian man lived alone in the country. He 
wanted to dig his tomato garden, but it was very hard
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 badly 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.
Love, Dad

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Dad,
Don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the bodies.
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 Dad,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I 
could do under the circumstances.
Love you, Vinnie
  
Something to think about:

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
