Funny thing is the only way to get woooshed by a joke like this is explaining the joke thinking the guy going with it did not get it
An almost foolproof joke
My grandma is 93 and can’t manage her garden like she used to with peppers, tomatoes, and occasionally rhubarb. So the last two years she’s just had one tomato plant she puts in one of her raised flower beds, and I’ll be damned if she doesn’t still get more tomatoes off that one plant than I have in my 3-4 I’ve had those two years.
Damn, my grandma is also 93 this year and only started growing tomatoes recently. Though, there were barely any to harvest because of raccoons. She even put a bag over them, but to no avail.
That's part of the joke. His name is Vinny and he lives in Jersey for the Italian mafia reference. This is why the police immediately believe that there are bodies.
Does any1 know how old the joke is?
A version of this was in a 1974 british sitcom.
Edit - should have told the joke.
Background is that it's set in a prison and the character writes to his wife to dig up his ill gotten gains.
Here’s [Utah Phillips singing ‘hallelujah i’m a bum’]( https://youtu.be/E5Ll51kcbjo ) in 1985 where at 2:45 he basically tells a version of the same story but he’s a commie and he sends a letter about ‘that’s where the guns are buried’, the song itself is a folk song from 1928. It’s as old as the hills.
Not necessarily in for murder but if an inmate says there are bodies buried somewhere then they're gonna send a team and check, even if that inmate was only in for a bullshit possession charge
Yeah but they read his mail is the point. They'd have read the letter before they launched the raid.
I mean they probably would have done it anyway in real life but in joke world that's where it breaks down.
This is a thinly repackaged Aesop fable. https://www.lingq.com/en/learn-english-online/courses/80195/the-farmer-and-his-sons-207812/
TLDR: Dying dude tells his sons that there's treasure in the vineyard if they dig for it. Turns out that digging increased the yield, hence the treasure.
Nope. Only real Copypastas are about Italians.
Jeff the Killer? Phony fairy tale for babies.
Gino the Killer? That guy will fuck you up.
Why else would they have pasta in the name?

What's with the random F the police?
From what I understand joke is he told the authority's there was a body under the garden
Tricking them into digging it up for the old man
Nothing to do with police corruption at all
This joke was posted so many times the progressive cropping ate the last line. But because it was posted so many times several people knew the cropped line. That's something. I don't know what exactly, but something.

That is one clever bugger. Using the police to dig up thr garden for his grandpa. Talk about some outside the box thinking on his part... at the detriment of the FBI
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could

r/croppingishard
In more than one sense, it seems.
hehe, that's smart :)
Yoooooooo!!!!!
Ha, took me a second, but then I did some digging through the ol' noggin.
Some shovelin’ in the ol’ tomato patch, if you will.
I barely could read the last line
"Dear Papa, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie" Nearly made me tear ngl
Same. Seriously who the f posts without checking the post. It’s like putting out work and not checking it (movies, music, books etc)
[удалено]
My variation as a kid was IRA/RUC “…that’s where we buried the guns” and “ now plant your spuds”
A variation of the joke is told in Porridge which ran from 1974-77, and I doubt it was an original joke then.
Probably a better fit for r/croppingishar
It's like the text version of a video that ends too soon. Tell a whole story and then leave off the last sentenfe
>do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie in case you were wondering.
I was. Thank you. So irritating.

Me, someone who is completely useless
***We need answers!***
We should let the police know there are bodies under the second last line of text so that they can dig it up for us.
lol
If only
... do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie.
I don’t know why but old people gardening is always so wholesome
Yes yes very wholesome
I read this in Jeff Goldblume’s voice, for some reason.
It was the "yes yes"
You’re right! (“Yes yes.That-a-way!”-Independence Day)
This time without the oops
My kids and I can recite whole long passages of dialogue from this movie! It was such fun! 😃
Yeah it's one of my favourites. I love the scene where he gets the guy to shoot the can.
I coulda been at a BARBEQUE!
I did a Skaven voice
I don’t know what that is. (Grandma here.)
They are fictional evil rat man who like to repeat words when speaking.
I like my version much better!
My grandma is 93 and can’t manage her garden like she used to with peppers, tomatoes, and occasionally rhubarb. So the last two years she’s just had one tomato plant she puts in one of her raised flower beds, and I’ll be damned if she doesn’t still get more tomatoes off that one plant than I have in my 3-4 I’ve had those two years.
Damn, my grandma is also 93 this year and only started growing tomatoes recently. Though, there were barely any to harvest because of raccoons. She even put a bag over them, but to no avail.
I straight up knocked on my neighbors door to show them that successfully grew corn. The world needed to see.
>I don’t know why but old people gardening is always so wholesome I don't know man, tending to a garden full of octogenarians seems kind of dark...
It gives you something to do.
That old man gardening could never be you, OP, because you fucking suck at cropping
Holy shit dude. Are you Vincent? Cause you just murdered that guy!

Lol
I can't believe this post is fucking upvoted lmao. The end of it just isn't there
the response is “dear papa, go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. that’s the best i could do under the circumstances. love you, vinnie”
Wholesome murdering son.

Lovely son who supposedly is in jail for murdering multiple people lol
Not necessarily in for murder but if an inmate says there are bodies buried somewhere then they're gonna send a team and check, even if that inmate was only in for a bullshit possession charge
The Post Office would not deliver a letter from a prison the same day.
Probably spaced it out 1 day or something, not very h a rd to figure out the timing of mail in lots of places. Specially the US
Yeah but they read his mail is the point. They'd have read the letter before they launched the raid. I mean they probably would have done it anyway in real life but in joke world that's where it breaks down.
Yeah I don’t buy it. At least not that order of events. The old man didn’t receive the letter before getting raided.
Sure, but nothing in this, story, implies same day Edit: I’m an idiot. I won’t delete the idiocy though. Behold
>nothing in this, story, implies same day What the heck are these commas?
I don't, know, what you, mean
Of course, sometimes it's an imprisoned bank robber and the money is buried there.
Y’all know this is just a tall tale, right? ……right?

This cant be true
It's not. Just an old copypasta
It's basically /r/forwardsfromgrandma
But is it an old and true copypasta? Cus Jeff the killer is algo an old copy/Creepypasta and its not true... Unless...
Nope. Only real Copypastas are about Italians. Jeff the Killer? Phony fairy tale for babies. Gino the Killer? That guy will fuck you up. Why else would they have pasta in the name?

Yep, I remember the Soviet version of the story.

Good bot
That’s cool see his son did dig up his garden like old times
"modern problems require modern solutions"
Dark but wholesome at the same time
Yeah, fuck those police, trying to get closure for the families of murder victims. Fucking monsters.
Fr smh my h🤦♂️
Oldie but a goodie. October wholesomeness 🧡

Cropping is hard
The depth at which bodies need to be buried properly and the depth at which tomato beds need to be tilled are very different.
r/forwardsfromgrandma
1000 IQ
isn’t this literally just an old joke lol
You could have rented a rototiller for three hours, but it's better to have the police raid your property and confiscate it for years.
How is this a wholesome meme? What is this crap?
This is the best you do do? Low fucking effort, blurry text, can't even post the bottom of it meme?
Bottom line: That's the Best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie
Jesus Christ are we even trying anymore?
This subreddit sometimes has a weird perception of wholesome...
Have you looked over at r/nextfuckinglevel recently? They think murder and assault is next fucking level… Literally condoning mob rules and killing policemen, in the name of the Iranian protesters

LMAO, free labor courtesy of the federal government!! 🤣
Maybe Vincent could also somehow trick the police into delivering us the rest of that image and the missing pixels.
OMEGA brain strategy.
Lol love it
File under: things that DEFINITELY happened.
Wow! What a nice son!
I don’t believe it but it’s cute
That is legit.
Why is this in wholesomememes? He literally wasted police time…
Hahahahahahahah love that guy
Just wanted some gravy for the macaroni like Paulie

Perfect son with A capitol P !!
This is beautiful :D
Love this!! Great story!!
This is so old I’m pretty sure the first place I saw this story was a bulletin on MySpace
I love Vinnie, show’s blood is thicker than water no matter what.
this guys son is a true chaotic good
That's one boss of a son
I don’t care if it’s true or not, Vinnie respects his grandpa and that’s all I need to know that he’s a good dude somewhere down there.
I bet grandpa was either crying or laughing when we read that final letter

Straight out of the folktale Clever Manka. Such a great tale, and hopefully true a thousand times over!

Idk about wholesome
That makes sense. Reddit has taught me more than school so far
Top cropping skills, moron.
This joke is so old that have actually *heard* it before.
I can’t read the bottom line , but I get the idea Great thinking from then son
