The Deaf Bookkeeper

On a gloomy Monday, a Mafia Godfather found out that his bookkeeper, Enzo, had cheated him out of $10 million dollars.
His bookkeeper was deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that Enzo would hear nothing that he might have to testify about in court.
When the Godfather went to confront Enzo about his missing $10 million, he took along his lawyer who knows sign language. The Godfather told the lawyer;
“Ask him where the 10 million bucks is that he embezzled from me.”
The lawyer, using sign language, asked Enzo where the money is.
Enzo signed back; “I don’t now what you are talking about.”
The lawyer told the Godfather; “He says he doesn’t know what you are talking about.”
The Godfather pulled out a big black pistol, puts it to Enzo’s temple and said; “Ask him again!”
The lawyer signed to Enzo; “He’ll kill you if you don’t tell him.”
Enzo signed back; “OK. You win!  The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Bruno’s backyard in Woodbridge!”
The Godfather barked at the lawyer; “What did he say?”
The lawyer replied; “He says you don’t have the balls to pull the trigger.”
