A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada
one day, carrying a bag of money. She insisted that she must speak
with the president of the bank to open a savings account because,
"It's a lot of money!" After much hemming and hawing, the
bank staff finally ushered her into the president's office.
The bank president then asked her how much she
would like to deposit. She replied, "$165,000!" and dumped
the cash out of her bag onto his desk. The president was of course
curious as to how she came by all this cash, so he asked her,
"Madam, I'm surprised you're carrying so much cash around.
Where did you get this money?" The old lady replied, "I
make bets." The president then asked, "Bets? What kind of
bets?" The old woman said, "Well, for example, I'll bet
you $25,000 that your balls are square." The president laughs,
"That's a stupid bet. You can never win that kind of bet!"
The old lady challenged, "So, would you like to take my
bet?" The president agrees, "Sure, I'll bet $25,000 that
my balls aren't square!" The little old lady then said,
"Okay, but since there is a lot of money involved, may I bring
my lawyer with me tomorrow at 10am as a witness?"
"Sure!" replied the confident president.
That night, the president got very nervous
about the bet and spent a long time in front of a mirror checking
his balls, turning from side to side, again and again. He thoroughly
checked them out until he was sure that there was absolutely no way
his balls were square and that he would win the bet. The next
morning, at precisely 10am, the little old lady appeared with her
lawyer at the president's office.
She introduced the lawyer to the president and
repeated the bet "$25,000 says the president's balls are
square!" The president agreed with the bet again and the old
lady asked him to drop his pants so they could all see. The
president complied. The little old lady peered closely at his balls
and then asked if she could feel them. "Well, Okay," said
the president, "$25,000 is a lot of money, so I guess you
should be absolutely sure."
Just then, he noticed that the lawyer was
quietly banging his head against the wall. The president asked the
old lady, "What the hell's the matter with your lawyer?"
She replied, "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that at 10am
today I'd have The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my
hand."
