A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper, Guido, has
cheated him out of $10,000,000.
His bookkeeper is deaf, which 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 guts to pull the trigger."
Capische?
