Mafia Don and the Deaf Accountant — Jokes, Humor & Pithy Comments (from eGrumps) — April9, 2010

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

It seems there was a Mafia Don who hired a deaf accountant to keep his books. One day he discovered $10,000,000 was missing

He called a lawyer he knew, who was fluent in signing, and asked the lawyer to sign the accountant to ask “What happened to the missing money?”

After an exchange of signs with the Accountant, he told the Mafia Don that he said he didn’t know what you were talking about.

So – the Mafia Don pulled out a pistol and pointed it the accountant’s head, and told the lawyer to ask him again. Which he did.

The Accountant signed  back to the lawyer – “OK – the money is in a tan briefcase buried on the right side at the rear of my garage under a rose bush.”

Don to the lawyer;  “What’d he say?”

The lawyer said that the Accountant had signed back that “He didn’t think you had the guts to pull the trigger.”
