The Deaf Italian Bookkeeper

[jazzman]

A Mafia
Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper, Guido, has cheated
him
out of $10,000,000.00. His bookkeeper
is deaf.
That was the reason he got
the job in the first place.
It was assumed that Guido would hear
nothing and would therefore
never have to testify in court.

When the
Godfather goes to confront Guido about the 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 Guido,
"Where's the money?"

Guido signs back, "I don't
know what you are talking about."

The lawyer tells the Godfather,
"He says he doesn't know what you are
talking about."

The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it
to Guido's head and says,
"Ask him again or I'll kill him!"

The lawyer signs to Guido,
"He'll kill you if you don't tell him."

Guido trembles and signs
back, "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."

Don't you just love lawyers?
