The deaf Italian bookeeper
A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper, Guido, has cheated him
out of US$10,000,000.
His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first
place.
It was assumed that Guido would hear nothing, so he would not have to
testify in court.
When the Godfather goes to confront Guido about his missing US$10 million,
he takes along his lawyer who knows sign language.
The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the money is!".
The lawyer, using sign language, asks Guido "Where's the money?".
Guido signs back, "I don't know what you are talking about."
The lawyer tells the Godfather, "He says he doesn't know what you're
talking about."
The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to Guido's head and says, Ask
him again or I'll kill him!"
The lawyer signs to Guido, "He'll kill you if you don't tell him."
Guido trembles and signs, "OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase,
buried behind the shed at my cousin Bruno's house.
The Godfather asks the lawyer, "What did he say?"
The lawyer replies, "He says you don't have the balls to pull the
trigger."
Don't you just love lawyers?
A very tall man walks into a bar, and a lady recognizes him as real
Rugby player
They start to talk and eventually go back to his place.
They start to kiss, and the man takes off his shirt.
On his arm, he has a tattoo that says REEBOK.
"What's that for?" the lady questions.
"Oh, I have this so that when I'm on TV, people will see my tattoo,
and Reebok pays me."
Then the man takes off his trousers, and on his leg, he has a tattoo that
says NIKE.
'What's that ?' the lady questions again.
"Just like the Reebok tattoo, I get paid when this tattoo is seen
on TV."
Then the man drops his underwear and on his p_nis he has a tattoo that
says AIDS.
The woman screams: "Don't tell me you have AIDS!"
The man replies: "No, no...!!! Calm down...!!!
It will say ADIDAS in a minute."
