The Mafia Godfather and his lawyer Sansou.....
A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.
When the Mafia Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his attorney Sansou, who knows sign language. The Godfather tells the lawyer Sansou, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is." The attorney Sansou, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the money is.
The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Then Sansou tells the Mafia Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about." The Mafia Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple and says, "Ask him again!"
So Sansou signs to the bookkeeper: "He'll kill you 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 Mafia Godfather asks Sansou: "Well, what'd he say?" Then Sansou replies: "He says you don't have the balls to pull the trigger."
Don't you just love lawyers?
