Left Coast Isolationist
A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out
of ten million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he
got the job in the first place. It was assumed that a deaf
bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about
in court.
When the Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing
10 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.
The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks
he embezzled from me is." The attorney, using sign language, asks
the bookkeeper where the money is.
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." The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the
bookkeeper's temple and says, "Ask him again!"
The attorney signs to the bookkeeper: "He'll kill you 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."
