A little old lady went into the Bank of England 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 into her new savings account.
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 explained, "Well, for example, I'll bet you
$25,000 that your balls are square."
"HaHaHa!" 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 will bet $25,000 with you that
my balls are not square."
The little old lady then said, "Okay, but since there is a lot of
money involved here, may I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow
at 10:00am as a witness?"
"Certainly!" replied the president confidently.
That night, the president got very nervous about the bet and
spent a long time in front of a mirror checking his balls,
turning them from side to side, again and again. He thoroughly
inspected them 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 10:00am, the little old lady
appeared with her lawyer at the president's office.
She introduced the lawyer to the president and reconfirmed
the bet, "$25,000 says the president's balls are square!"
The president agreed and accepted the bet and the old lady
asked him to drop his trousers 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 about this."
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, "Oh Nothing, I bet him $100,000 that at 10:00am today,
I'd have the president of the Bank of England's balls in my hand."
