A commercial for an insurance company in Holland. Don’t worry, the spoken language is English. It is hilarious.
Movie fans already know the “Godfather” house, located in the New York City borough of Staten Island, inside and out. It’s where Don Corleone lived. But few ever imagined that they themselves could live in mafia high style. Curbed.com has the scoop.
It takes a lot to get us interested in Staten Island property — at least until that subway becomes a reality — but when a house hits the market with its own English pub in the basement, and that’s the second most interesting thing about it, we definitely take notice. The “Post” ‘s Jennifer Gould Keil reported today that the English Tudor mansion (and its lush lawns) which played a pretty darn important role in “The Godfather” has hit the market for $2.9 million. The Corleones’ crib has actually been owned by the same family for over 50 years, and with that type of emotional attachment, it might be hard to make them an offer they can’t refuse. The Longfellow Avenue house has 8 bedrooms, 2 fireplaces and 1 swimming pool. Time for The Situation to trade up?
A Mafia Godfather finds out that his book-keeper has screwed him for ten million bucks.
This book-keeper is deaf and it was considered an occupational benefit why he got the job in the first place, since it was assumed that a deaf book-keeper would not be able to hear anything and never have to testify in court.
When the Godfather goes to shake down the book-keeper about his missing $10 million bucks, he takes along his lawyer, who knows sign language.
The Godfather asks the book-keeper: “Where is the $10 million bucks you embezzled from me?”
The lawyer, using sign language, asks the book-keeper where the money is hidden.
The book-keeper signs back: “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
The lawyer tells the Godfather: “He says he doesn’t know what you’re talking about.”
That’s when the Godfather pulls out a 9mm pistol, puts it to the book-keeper’s temple, cocks it up and says: “Ask him again!”
The attorney signs to the underling: “He’ll kill you for sure if you don’t tell him!”
The book-keeper signs back: “OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo’s backyard in Queens!”
The Godfather asks the lawyer: “Well, what’d he say?”
The lawyer replies “He says you don’t have the guts to pull the trigger!”
