Little Old Lady Knows How to Gamble

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 bank president then asked her how much she would like to deposit. 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 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 then said, "Okay, but since there is a lot of money involved, may I bring
my lawyer with me tomorrow at 10:00 am 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 am, 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 agreed with the bet again and the old lady 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 $50,000 that at 10 am
today, I'd have the president of the Bank of Canada's balls in my hand."
