Deaf bookkeeper ...A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of
$10 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 if anything went wrong !
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 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! 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 !! '
Lawyers, you have to love ‘em…
