Italian Tomato Garden:
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,
Vinnie
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,
Vinnie
suggestion: have a contest where a winner will get a pro poker player watch them in an online tournament and give tips after each hand they play. Many hand I have played and wished a pro was watching to let me know if I did right.
If you want it more than anything, it will be yours.
Maybe not on the same terms you imagine, but you will have it. But as strength, speed and practice prevail, as they tend to do in other contests it tends to be Dog eat dog or winner takes all world. It is the Darwinism of the game.
