Why lawyers get a bad rap

Recommended Posts

A Mafia Godfather discovers that his bookkeeper cheated him out of ten million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the in the first place. The Godfather assumed a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything he might have to testify about in court.

When the Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $1 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.

The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where is the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me?"

The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper, "Where is the money?"

The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about."

The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."

The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple and says, "Ask him again!"

The attorney 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 Godfather asks the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?"

The attorney replies: "He says you don't have the guts to pull the trigger."
