>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: "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 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 The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my hand."
