The Mafia was looking for a new man to make weekly collections from the private businesses they were “protecting.”<\/p>\n
Feeling the heat from the police force, they decide to use a deaf person for this job. If he were to get caught, he wouldn’t be able to communicate to the police what he was doing.<\/p>\n
Well, on his first week the deaf collector picks up over $40,000. He gets greedy, decides to keep the money and stashes it in a safe place.<\/p>\n
The Mafia soon realizes that the collections are late and send a few hoods after the deaf collector. They find him and ask where the money is. He can’t communicate with them, so they drag the guy to an interpreter.<\/p>\n
The Mafia hood says to the interpreter, “Ask him where the money is.”<\/p>\n
The interpreter signs, “Where’s the money?”<\/p>\n
The deaf man replies, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”<\/p>\n
The interpreter tells the hood, “He says he doesn’t know what you’re talking about.”<\/p>\n
The hood pulls out a .38 and places it in the ear of the deaf collector. “Now ask him where the money is!”<\/p>\n
The interpreter signs, “Where is the money?”<\/p>\n
The deaf man replies, “The $40,000 is in a tree stump in Central Park.”<\/p>\n
The interpreter says to the hood, “He says he still doesn’t know what you’re talking about and doesn’t think you have the balls to pull the trigger.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
