A Mafia Godfather discovers that his bookkeeper, Guido, has cheated him out of $10,000,000.00.
His bookkeeper is deaf, which is why he got the job in the first place.
Guido would hear nothing therefore he would not have to testify in court.
When the Godfather goes to confront Guido 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 Guido, Where’s the money?
Guido signs back, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
The lawyer translates, “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 and tell him if he doesn’t answer 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! OK! The money is in a briefcase, buried behind the shed at my cousin Tony’s house.
The Godfather asks, “What did he say?”
The lawyer replies….. “He says you don’t have the balls to pull the trigger.”
