An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse
>full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking
>to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money.
>
>After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right) an
>employee took the elderly woman to the president's office.
>
>The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She
>placed her purse on his desk and replied, "$165,000". The president was
>curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The
>elderly woman replied that she made bets.
>
>The president was surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?"
>
>The elderly woman replied, "Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are
>square."
>
>The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible to
>win a bet like that. The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the
>president and said, "Would you like to take my bet?"
>
>"Certainly", replied the president. "I bet you $25,000 that my testicles are
>not square."
>
>"Done", the elderly woman answered. "But given the amount of money involved,
>if you don't mind I would like to come back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
>with my lawyer as a witness."
>
>"No problem", said the president of the Bank confidently.
>
>That night, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long
>time in front of the mirror examining his testicles, turning them this way
>and that, checking them over again and again until he was positive that no
>one could consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there
>was no way he could lose the bet.
>
>The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the elderly woman arrived at the
>president's office with her lawyer and acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the
>day before that the president's testicles were square.
>
>The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made the day
>before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his pants etc. so that she
>and her lawyer could see clearly.
>
>The president was happy to oblige.
>
>The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and asked the
>president if she could touch them.
>
>"Of course", said the president. "Given the amount of money involved, you
>should be 100% sure."
>
>The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the president noticed
>that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the
>elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied, "Oh, it's probably
>because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the morning I would be
>holding the balls of the President of the Bank of Canada!"
