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 president 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
him 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!"
