A Mafia Godfather learns that his bookkeeper has embezzled ten million dollars.

The bookkeeper is deaf.
That was the reason he got the job in the first place.
It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not be able to
hear anything that he'd ever have to testify about in court. So when the
Godfather interrogates the bookkeeper about the missing $10 million,
he brings along an attorney who knows sign language.

The Godfather asks the bookkeeper,
"Where's the 10 million you embezzled from me?"
The attorney, using sign language,
asks the bookkeeper where the 10 million 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 talking about."

The Godfather pulls out a 9 mm pistol,
puts it to the bookkeepers temple,
cocks it, and says, "Ask him again!"
The attorney signs to the bookkeeper:
"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 balls to pull the trigger."

Don't ya just love lawyers . .
