The Mafia Book Keeper
A mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has screwed him
for ten million bucks. This bookkeeper happens to be deaf, so the
Godfather 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 dollars 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 bookkeeper’s 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 guts to pull the trigger.”
