square balls

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 !'
