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."
Don't ya
just love lawyers?
