A Mafia Godfather finds out that one of his underlings has cheated him out of three million bucks. This underling happens to be deaf, so the Godfather brings along someone who knows sign language to translate.
The Godfather asks the underling:
“Where is the 3 million bucks you embezzled from me?”
The interpreter, using sign language, asks the underling where the 3 million dollars is hidden.
The underling signs back:
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
The interpreter tells the Godfather:
“He says he doesn’t know what you’re talking about.”
That’s when the Godfather pulls out a 9mm pistol, puts it to the underling’s temple, cocks it and says:
“Ask him again!”
The interpreter signs to the underling:
“He’ll kill you for sure if you don’t tell him!”
The underling 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 interpreter:
“Well… what’d he say?”
To which the interpreter replies:
“He says you don’t have the guts to pull the trigger.”
