The Clever Greek

Below is a funny story that I received in my email from a Malaysian friend working in Brazil currently. Just read the following. It will tickle your toes.

An old Greek man lived alone in Marrickville. He wanted to dig his
tomato garden, but it was hard work for his advanced years as the
ground was very hard.

His only son, Spiro, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man
wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Spiro,
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 you were here my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love Papa

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

Dear Papa,
Don't dig up the garden. That's where I buried the bodies.
Love Spiro

At 4 A.M. the next morning, Federal agents and NSW 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 Papa,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under
the circumstances.
Love Spiro
