A Mafia Godfather in Cleveland finds out that is bookkeeper has stolen $10 million from him.

The bookkeeper is deaf...
It was considered and occupational benefit, and why he got the job in the first place, since is was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not be able to hear anything he'd ever have to testify about it in court.

When the godfather goes to shakedown the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his gardner, who happens to know sign language.

The Godfather tells the gardner to ask the bookkeeper, "Wheres my $10 million you embezzled from me?"

The bookkeeper signs back, "I don't know what your talking about."

The gardner tells the Godfather, "He say... he don't know what you talkn' about."

The Godfather then pulls out a .45 pistol, puts it to the bookkeepers head, cocks it and says, "Ask this piece of shit again!"

The gardner signs to the bookkeeper, "He'll kill you for sure if you don't tell him!"

The bookkeeper signs back, "Okay, you win! The money is buried in a brown briefcase behind my brothers house."

The Godfather asks the gardner, "Well... what'd he say?"

The gardner hesitates a few seconds and replies...

"He said... you don't have the the guts to pull the trigger!"
