THE LITTLE OLD LADY AND THE BET
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 1000 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 1000 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 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 1000 am today,
I'd
have The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my hand."
