Bet
An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse
>full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking
>to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money.
>
> After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right)
>an employee took the elderly woman to the president's office.
>
> The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She
>placed her purse on his desk and replied, "$165,000". The president was
>curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The
>elderly woman replied that she made bets.
>
> The president was surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?"
>
> The elderly woman replied, "Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles
>are square."
>
> The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible
>to win a bet like that.
> The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and
>said, "Would you like to take my bet?"
>
> "Certainly", replied the president. "I bet you $25,000 that my testicles
>are not square."
>
> "Done", the elderly woman answered. "But given the amount of money
>involved, if you don't mind I would like to come back at 10 o'clock
>tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness." "No problem", said the
>president of the Bank confidently.
>
>
> That night, the presiden t became very nervous about the bet and spent a
>long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles, turning them this
>way and that, checking them over again and again until he was
> positive that no one could consider his testicles as square and
>reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet.
>
> The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the elderly woman arrived at the
>president's office with her lawyer and acknowledged the $25,000 bet made
>the day before that the president's testicles were square.
>
> The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made the
>day before. Then the elderly woman asked hi m to drop his pants etc. so
>that she and her lawyer could see clearly.
>
> The president was happy to oblige.
>
> The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and asked the
>president if she could touch them. "Of course", said the president. "Given
>the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure."
>
> The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the president
>noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the
>elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied,
> "Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in
>the morning I would be holding the balls of the President of the Bank of
>Canada!"
