Hearing the sound, the woman, familiar with the house layout in the dark and very brave, manages to sneak behind the burglar, grabs him firmly by the balls, gets very close to his shoulder and whispers:

• Who are you?

The man doesn't answer. The woman then puts more pressure and asks again in a soft whisper:

• Who are you?

This time, the man, curved by the pain, is capable of moaning and nothing else. Putting all her strength into her hands, she presses his balls even further, and once again whispers:

• Who are you?

This time the man is capable of answering, with a crying voice:

• It's John, your deaf and mute neighbor.
