The Deaf Bookkeeper

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
bookkeepers 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."
