The Godfather, accompanied by his attorney, walks into a room to meet with his accountant. The Godfather asks the accountant where the $3 million he embezzled from him is. The accountant doesn’t answer. The attorney interrupts, “This man is deaf and dumb, but I can interpret for you.” “Well, ask him where the @/#!* money is,” the Godfather demands. The accountant signs back, “I don’t know what you are talking about.” The attorney, using sign language, signs back, “He says, he doesn’t know what we’re talking about.”
Then the Godfather pulls out a pistol and points it at the accountant’s temple. “Now, ask him where my @#!!## money is.” The scared accountant signs, “The money is in a suitcase buried in my back yard.” The Godfather asks the lawyer what the accountant said. The lawyer, without skipping a beat, answers, “He doesn’t think you have the guts to pull the trigger.”

The District Attorney replied, “They didn’t last year!”

The professor was livid. “No. No. Think like a lawyer.”
