A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has screwed him
for ten million bucks.

This bookkeeper is deaf & dumb, and it was considered an occupational
benefit why he got the job in the first place, since it was assumed
that a deaf & dumb bookkeeper would not be able to hear anything and never
have to testify in court.

When the Godfather goes to shakedown the bookkeeper about his
missing $10 million bucks, he 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
money 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 balls to pull
the trigger."
