>>>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 t 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 a 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!”
