>>>  Little Old  Lady & the Bet

>>>

>>>  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!" 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 than said, "Okay, but since there

>>>is a lot of money involved, may I bring my lawyer

>>>  with me tomorrow at 10:00 A.M. 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 A.M., 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

>>>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

>>>  hell's the matter with your lawyer?" She replied,

>>>

>>>  "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that at 10:00

>>>  A.M. today, I'd have the Bank of Canada's

>>> president's balls in my hand."
