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 alot 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 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 10:00 AM 
 today,  I'd  have The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my hand."
