>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

>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
>this morning I would be holding the balls of the President of the Bank of Canada!"
