A little old lady went into the headquarters of a large national
bank one day, dragging a large bag behind her. 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 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 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 heck's the matter with your
lawyer?"
"Nothing," she answered, "Except I bet him $100,000 that at 10:00AM
today, I'd have the president of this bank's balls in my
hand."
