The Laughter Zone / Tomato Garden
« Last post by Den on July 13, 2025, 22:37 »An elderly man living alone in Leeds wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Paul, who used to help him, was in Wakefield Prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Paul,
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, Dad
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Dad,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Paul.
At 4 a.m. the next morning, CID officers 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.

The Laughter Zone / Truck Driver.
« Last post by Den on July 06, 2025, 21:07 »One day, a truck driver pulled over at a diner to have some lunch. He ordered a cheeseburger, a cup of coffee, and a slice of apple pie.
Just as he was about to dig in, three big, hairy bikers came in.
The first biker snatched the trucker’s cheeseburger and took a huge bite out of it.
The second biker grabbed the trucker’s coffee and gulped it down in one go.
The third biker devoured the trucker’s apple pie.
The truck driver didn’t say a word or do anything while this happened.
When they were done, he simply paid the waitress and walked out.
The first biker said to the waitress, “He ain’t much of a man, is he?”
“He’s not much of a driver, either,” the waitress replied. “He’s just backed his 18-wheeler over three motorbikes.”
