A MAFIA GODFATHER FINDS OUT THAT HIS BOOKKEEPER HAS BEEN CHEATING HIM FOR YEARS TO THE TUNE OF 10 MILLION BUCKS. THE BOOKKEEPER IS DEAF. IT WAS CONSIDERED AN OCCUPATIONAL BENEFIT, AND WHY HE GOT THE JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE, SINCE IT WAS ASSUMED THAT A DEAF BOOKKEEPER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HEAR ANYTHING AND THEN NEVER BE ABLE TO TESTIFY.

WHEN THE GODFATHER GOES TO SHAKE HIM DOWN ABOUT HIS MISSING MONEY, HE BRINGS ALONG HIS ATTORNEY WHO KNOWS SIGN LANGUAGE.

THE GODFATHER ASKS THE BOOKKEEPER, "WHERE IS THE 10 MILLION BUCKS YOU STOLE FROM ME?" THE ATTORNEY USING SIGN LANGUAGE ASKS THE BOOKKEEPER THE SAME QUESTION.

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 ARE TALKING ABOUT."

THE GOD FATHER ASKS THE SAME QUESTION AGAIN AND AGAIN GETS THE SAME REPLY. AFTER ASKING AGAIN TWICE MORE AND GETTING THE SAME RESPONSE, HE PULLS OUT A 9 MM PISTOL AND PUTS IT TO THE BOOKKEEPERS HEAD, COCKS IT AND SAYS "ASK HIM AGAIN!!"

THE ATTORNEY SIGNS TO THE UNDERLING, 'HE'LL KILL YOU FOR SURE IF YOU DON'T TELL WHERE THE MONEY IS.'

THE BOOKKEEPER, SHAKING, SIGNS "OK!! YOU WIN. THE MONEY IS IN A BROWN BRIEFCASE, BURIED BEHIND THE SHED AT MY COUSIN TONY'S HOUSE IN QUEENS."

THE GODFATHER ASKS THE ATTORNEY, "WELL, WHAT'D DID HE SAY?"

THE ATTORNEY REPLIES, "HE SAYS YOU DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO PULL THE TRIGGER."
