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!"
