Betting Woman

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 t he 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 !"
