    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. 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, Vincent 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 Pop, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinny

    This statement was never false.

          There's a moral to that joke :confused:

          Cheers Tom Philosophy: The art of never getting beyond the concept of life.
          Religion: Morality taking credit for the work of luck.

              Don't ask what you can do for your society. Ask what your society can do for you! :rolleyes: (The first moral that came to my mind...)

                  Oh, do explain goatee. You presume much. I would sincerely love to hear your reasoning.
