Or a rather cold or lame one.
Never underestimate the little old Lady.....
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 alot 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 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 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 did. 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."
