Never underestimate the little old lady
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 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 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."
