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 customer is always right!).
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 it and asked her "how 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."
"Ha!" laughed the president, "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?"
"Sure," said the
president,
"I'll bet $25,000 that my balls are not 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 10:00 AM 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 10:00 am, the 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
matter with your lawyer?"
She replied, "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that
at
10:00 AM today, I'd have
The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my hand."
