>>>>> 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'll 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 !"
