““A deaf man lived next door to a known robber and one day decided to help himself to the spoils of the latest bank job. The robber, suspecting the deaf man, got an interpreter and went to the deaf man’s house to confront him. “I don’t know anything about it,” the deaf man told the interpreter, who relayed that to the robber. The robber brandished a gun in the deaf man’s face. “Okay, okay, I’ll tell. Don’t shoot me,” the deaf man signed to the interpreter. “The money is stashed in the oak tree in the backyard!” The interpreter turned to the robber and said aloud: “He signs he’ll never tell. He says he’d rather be shot.””
