A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper,
who is deaf, has screwed him out of ten million
bucks. He got the job because it was assumed that
a deaf bookkeeper would not be able to hear anything
that he'd ever have to testify about in court.
When the Godfather goes to shakedown the bookkeeper
about his missing $10 million bucks, he brings along
his attorney, who knows sign language. Through his
interpreter, he asks the bookkeeper: "Where is the
10 million bucks you embezzled from me?"
The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are
talking about."
The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't
know what you're talking about.
"That's when the Godfather pulls out a 9 mm pistol, puts
it to the bookkeepers temple, cocks it, and says:
"Ask him again!"
The attorney signs to the underling: "He'll kill you
for sure if you don't tell him!
"The bookkeeper signs back: "OK! You win! The money is
in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my
cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens !"
The Godfather asks the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?
The attorney replies: "He says you don't have the balls
to pull the trigger."
