Funny Story: The aging man wanted to plant his tomatoes, but wasn’t capable of digging up the garden

An old man lived alone in the country.

It was Spring and he wanted to dig his tomato garden, as he had done every year, but it was very hard work for the aging man as the ground was hard.

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

The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Sam,

I am feeling pretty bad 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.

If only you were here, my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.

Love, Dad.

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

Dear Dad,

You can't dig up the old garden. That's where I buried all the cash!

Love, Sam.

At 4am the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived at the old man's house and dug up the entire area.

However, they didn't find any money, so they apologized to the old man and left.

The next day the old man received another letter from his son:

Dear Dad,

I'm sure my ol' buddies have helped with the garden by now. Go ahead and plant the tomatoes.

That's the best I could do under the circumstances.

Love, Sam.
