A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has
screwed him for ten million bucks. This bookkeeper is
deaf. It was considered an occupational benefit, and why
he got the job in the first place, since it was assumed that a deaf
bookkeeper would not be able to hear anything 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.The Godfather asks the
bookkeeper: "Where is the $10 million bucks you
embezzled from me?"
The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the $10 million
dollar is hidden. 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 bookkeeper's 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 that trigger.
Don't you just love lawyers?
