'''Johnny Tightlips''' (Born <b>Giovanni Silencio</b> <ref>"[[22 For 30]]"</ref>. Legal name: <b>Jonathan Schmallippe</b><ref>{{bk|Chief Wiggum's Book of Crime and Punishment}}</ref>) is a caporegime for the [[Springfield Mafia]]<ref>"[[22 For 30]]"</ref>, working for [[Fat Tony]]. 

== Biography ==
Johnny's typical catchphrase is "I ain't sayin' nothin'!" though he does speak occasionally (albeit vaguely, as seen in [[22 For 30]]. Johnny is depicted as being in his late 30's/early 40's, though his exact age is unknown. He is frequently seen with Fat Tony, Legs and Louie. Johnny has short wavy black hair, thick eyebrows, and wears a pinstripe shirt tucked in a purple suit.

Like his nickname, Johnny says very little, which spares him from accusations of being a "squealer", but his reticence tends to be unhelpful to himself and others. An example of this is when there was a shoot-out in Fat Tony's mansion, and Johnny was shot by accident. When asked where he was injured, he replied, " I ain't sayin' nothin'!", and when asked what to tell the doctor, he said, "Tell 'em to suck a lemon." <ref>"[[Insane Clown Poppy]]"</ref> 

Fat Tony has referred to him as his "Joisey (Jersey) muscle." <ref>"[[Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge]]"</ref>

[[Frankie the Squealer]] once said Johnny has a bad back. <ref>"[[Rednecks and Broomsticks]]"</ref>

Despite his occupation as a mobster, he also seems to have an altruistic side, as Homer has once revealed that Johnny digs wells in Darfur on his vacations.<ref>"[[Penny-Wiseguys]]"</ref>
