A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada one
day, carrying a case 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 briefcase
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."
