Care To Bet An Old Lady?
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 all
this cash, so he asked her, "Ma'am, 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."
"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 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 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 did.
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
10:00 AM today, I'd have President of The Bank of Canada's balls
in my hand."
