A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper, *****,
has cheated him out of $10,000,000.
His bookkeeper is deaf.
That was the reason he got the job in the first place.
It was assumed that ***** would hear nothing so he
would never have to testify in court.
When the Godfather goes to confront ***** about his missing $10 million, he takes along his lawyer who knows sign language.
The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the money
is!"
The lawyer, using sign language, asks *****, "Where's the
money?"
***** signs back, "I don't know what you are talking
about."
The lawyer tells the Godfather, "He says he doesn't know
what you're talking about."
The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to *****'s head
and says, "Ask him again or I'll kill him!"
The lawyer signs to *****, "He'll kill you if you don't tell
him."
***** trembles and signs, "OK! You win! The money is in a
brown briefcase, buried behind the shed at my cousin
Bruno's house."
The Godfather asks the lawyer, "What did he say?"
The lawyer replies, "He says you don't have the balls to
pull the trigger!
