WORD SUGGESTIONS
The Mafia was looking for a new man to make weekly collections fromall the private businesses that they were 'protecting'. Feeling the heat from the police force, they decided to use a deafperson for this job. If he were to get caught, he wouldn't be able tocommunicate to the police what he was doing. Well, on his first week, the deaf collector picks up over $50,000. He gets greedy, decides to keep the money and stashes it in a safe place. The Mafia soon realizes that their collection is late, and sends someof their hoods after the deaf collector. The hoods find the deafcollector and ask him where the money is. The deaf collector can'tcommunicate with them, so the Mafia drags the guy to an interpreter.The Mafia hood says to the interpreter, "Ask him where the money is."The interpreter signs, "Where's the money?" r\nThe deaf replies, "I don't know what you're talking about." Theinterpreter tells the hood, "He says he doesn't know what you'retalking about." The hood pulls out a large gun and places it in the ear of the deafcollector. "NOW ask him where the money is." The interpreter signs, "Where is the money?" The deaf man replies, "The $50,000 is in Central Park, hidden in thethird tree stump on the left from the West 78th Street gate ." The interpreter says to the hood, "He says he still doesn't know whatyou're talking about, and doesn't think you have the guts to pull thetrigger."
