The two Mafia men finally caught up with Jose in a downtown bar.

"Jose, we know you stole our money and we want it back, right now."
"No spicka d english," says Jose.
The Mafia looked around and one of them yelled.  "Anybody in here speak 
spanish?"
"I do," said the bartender.
"Tell him what we said."
The bartender told Jose what the two men had said.
"Oh-H, No me. Me Jose Garcia and me no take no money."
The bartender repeated the statement to the two Mafia men.
"Tell him we KNOW he took our money and if he gives it back right now we 
will let him live."
After the bartender repeated the message Jose started shaking his head 
and denying any knowledge of the money.
Seeing this, the two gangsters started drawing their guns.
The bartender yelled. "Jose they are gonna kill you right now."
With this, Jose, wild eyed, came clean.  "The money is down at the Sant 
Maria Church under the steps. It`s the third step up and the fourth 
brick over.  It`s alla there I no spenda any of it."

"What`d he say," asked the Mafia.
The bartender looked them in the eye. "He says to tell you he ain`t 
afraid to die."
