Viewed: 485A little old lady went into the Bankof Canada one day, carrying a bag of money. She insisted that she must speak with thepresident 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'soffice.
The bank president then asked herhow much she would like to deposit. She replied, "$165,000!" and dumped the cashout of her bag onto his desk. The president was, of course, curious as to how she came byall this cash, so he asked her, "Ma'am, I'm surprised you're carrying so much casharound. 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 betyou $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 ladychallenged, "So, would you like to take my bet?" "Sure," said thepresident, "I'll bet $25,000 that my balls are not square!" The little old ladythen said, "Okay, but since there is a lot of money involved, may I bring my lawyerwith me tomorrow at 10:00 am as a witness?" "Sure!" replied the confidentpresident.
That night, the president got verynervous 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 wassure that there was absolutely no way his balls were square and that he would win the bet.
The next morning, at precisely 10 am, the little old lady appeared with her lawyer at the president's office. She introducedthe lawyer to the president and repeated the bet: "$25,000 says the president'sballs are square!" The president agreed with the bet again and the old lady asked himto drop his pants so they could all see. The president complied. The little old ladypeered 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 beabsolutely sure."
Just then, he noticed that thelawyer 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 $50,000 that at 10 am today, I'd have the president of the Bank of Canada'sballs in my hand."
