An elderly woman walked into the main branch of Chase Manhattan
Bank building holding a large paper bag in her hand. She told the
young man at the window that she wished to take the 3 million
dollars she had in the bag and open an account with the bank. She
said that first, though, she wished to meet the President of Chase
Manhatten Bank due to the large amount of money involved.
The teller seemed to think that was a reasonable request and, after
opening the bag and seeing the bundles of $1,000 bills which
amounted to $3 million, he phoned the President to make the
appointment for the woman.
The woman was escorted upstairs to the President's office.
Introductions were made and she said that she liked to get to know
the people she did businness with on a more personal level. The
bank President then asked how did she come into such a large sum of
money.
"Was it an inheritance?" he asked.
"No" she answered
"Was it from playing the Stock Market?" he inquired.
"No", She replied
He was quiet for a moment, trying to figure out how the elderly
lady came into such a large sum of money.
"I won it by betting" she stated.
"As in horses?"
"No", she replied, "I bet on people."
Seeing his confusion, she explained that she would bet on different
things with people. All of a sudden she said, "I'll bet you $25,000
that by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning your balls will be
square."
The bank President figured that she must be off her rocker and
decided to taker her up on the bet. He didn't see how he could
lose. For the rest of the day, he was very careful. He decided to
stay home that evening and take no chances, since there was $25,000
at stake.
When he got up in the morning and took his shower, he checked to
make sure everything was okay. There was no difference in his
scrotal appearance. He looked the same as he always had. He went to
work and waited for the woman to come in at 10 o'clock, humming as
he went. He knew, this would be a lucky day-how often did he get
handed $25,000 for doing nothing?
At 10 o'clock sharp the woman was shown into his office. With her
was a man. Then the bank President asked what the other man was
doing in the office with her, and she explained to the President
that he was her Lawyer and she always took him along on bets when
large sums of money was at stake.
"Well", she asked,"What about our bet?" "I don't know how to tell
you this", he answered with a smile,"But I'm the same as I've
always have been, only $25,000 richer."
The lady seemed to accept this, but requested that she be able to
see for herself. The bank President thought that this was a
reasonable request and dropped his trousers. She instructed him to
bend over, and she grabbed a hold of him. Sure enough, everything
was fine. His balls were not square.
The bank President then looked up and saw the Lawyer standing
across the room banging his head against the wall.
"What's wrong with him?", he asked.
"Oh, him", She answered, " I bet him $100,000 that by 10:30 this
morning I'd have the President of the Chase Manhattan Bank by the
balls."
