A mobster discovers that his deaf accountant has cheated him out of ten million bucks. He confronts him, bringing along an interpreter. "Ask him where the money is," the mobster says.
The interpreter does so, and the accountant signs back, "What are you talking about?"
The interpreter tells the godfather, "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."
The mobster puts a pistol to the bookkeeper's head. "Ask him again!"
The interpeter signs, "He'll kill you if you don't tell him!"
"Okay, okay!" the bookkeeper signs back. "The money is buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard!"

"He says you don't have the guts to pull the trigger."
Three men sat hopefully and expectantly in the hospital waiting room. A nurse from the maternity wing entered the room. She said to the first man, “Congratulations! You’re the father of twins.” “That’s a wonderful coincidence,” he exclaimed. “I’m a member of the Minnesota Twins baseball team.”
Then the nurse addressed the second man: “Congratulations! You’re the father of triplets.” “Wow!” said the new father, “another wonderful coincidence. I work for the 3M Company.” The third man jumped to his feet. “I’m leaving,” he said. “I work for 7UP!”
There was this lady who was visiting a church one Sunday. The sermon seemed to go on forever, and many in the congregation fell asleep. After the service, to be social, she walked up to a very sleepy looking gentleman, extended her hand in greeting, and said, "Hello, I'm Gladys Dunn." And the gentleman replied, "You're not the only one, Ma'am, I'm glad it's done too!"
An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening at church when she was startled by an intruder. As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, "Stop! Acts 2.38!" (“turn from your sin”).
The burglar stopped dead in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you." "Scripture?" replied the burglar, "She said she had an Axe and two 38's .
A preacher was making his rounds to his parishioners on a bicycle, when he came upon a little boy trying to sell a lawn mower. "How much do you want for the mower?" asked the preacher.
"I just want enough money to go out and buy me a bicycle," said the little boy. After a moment of consideration, the preacher asked, "Will you take my bike in trade for it?" The little boy asked if he could try it out first, and after riding the bike around a little while said, "Mister, you've got yourself a deal."
The preacher took the mower and began to try to crank it. He pulled on the string a few times with no response from the mower. The preacher called the little boy over and said, "I can't get this mower to start."
The little boy said, "That's because you have to cuss at it to get it started." The preacher said, "I am a minister, and I cannot cuss. It has been so long since I have been saved that I do not even remember how to cuss."
The little boy looked at him happily and said, "Just keep pulling on that string. It'll come back to ya!"
A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside. The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" My friend replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor." Pastor questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?" He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service."

A Woman’s Morning Prayer
Dear Lord, So far today, I am doing all right. I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or self-indulgent. I have not whined, grumbled, cursed, or eaten any chocolate. I have not charged on my credit card. However, I am going to get out of bed in a few minutes, and I will need a lot more help after that. Amen.
Little Gracie was crawling around in the living room, testing things out as she crawled around. Her mother saw her pick up a nickel, examine it, then swallow it. The mother immediately picked her up, turned her upside-down and pounded her on her back. Whereupon, Gracie coughed up two dimes.
Now the mother was really worried. Hysterically, she shouted to her husband who was out in the back yard, "Gracie just swallowed a nickel and coughed up two dimes. Hurry! Tell me what to do!" The father shouted back, "Keep feeding her nickels. We can use the money."
