After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right),
an
employee took the 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 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 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 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 woman asked him to drop his pants etc. so that she and her
lawyer
could see clearly. The president was happy to oblige. The 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 woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the president noticed
that
the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the 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 in my hands."
