A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has
screwed him out of ten million bucks; his bookkeeper
is deaf. It was considered an occupational benefit,
and the reason he got the job in the first place,
since 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.
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 bucks 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 the trigger."
