A controller was part of job's project and hired a deaf bookkeeper. At year's end, the company's CPA firm came in to do their usual year end audit. After a few hour on the audit, the site manager for the firm came into the controller's office and informed him that one of his bookkeepers had stashed away over a million dollars somewhere. Terribly upset, the controller walked into the business owner's office and informed him of the discovery. Now it was bad enough to loose a million bucks, but the business owner was a volatile man, prone to temper flareups. So the owner tells the controller to get the bookkeeper in his office, pronto! The controller brings the man in and they both sit in front of the owner's desk. The owner knows the man is deaf, so he asks the controller to sign language his questions.
"Ok, bucko - where is my money?" demands to owner.
The controller sign languages the question, only to see the bookkeeper shrug his shoulders, like he knows nothing.
The controller passes on the bookkeeper's reaction.
The business owner get's enraged and demands the bookkeeper tell him where his money is.
Again, the same pattern of event, like before, get's back to the owner.
The owner, then reaches into his desk, pulls out a 45 cal. pistol and tells the controller that if the bookkeeper doesn't tell him where his money is, he'll start shoot'n!
The Controller, in sign language, looks at the bookkeeper and explains the situation.
The bookkeeper then signs back - "It's all under my front steps at my house."
The owner, looking very attentive says, "Ok, what did he say?"
The controller looks at the owner and says, " He doesn't think you have the guts to start shoot'n!"
