A little old lady goes into the Chase
Manhattan Bank, and says she wants to open a savings account.
The bank clerk asks her how much
she would like to deposit to open the account and the little old lady
replies,
"Three million dollars."
The bank clerk is startled, and asks,
"In what form?" and the little old lady says, "Cash. I've got it here
in
this bag..." The bank clerk looks and, sure enough, the lady has a big
grocery bag just chock full of green stuff with big denominations.
This is a highly unusual event, and
the bank clerk excuses herself to get the president of the bank to
handle
this one. He arrives, and escorts the little old lady to his office to
handle it personally.
Once in his office, he asks the little
old lady where she got so much money.
She replies, "Gambling."
"Gambling?", he says. "What sort
of gambling?"
"Oh, I make bets with people on all
sorts of things, and I usually win. For example, I've got $100,000
right
here that says that by noon tomorrow your balls will be square, and
I'll
even give you 4:1 odds. You got $25,000 you'd be willing to wager on
that?"
The bank president is shocked at
this sort of thing coming from a sweet little old lady, but he didn't
get
to be the president of the Chase Manhattan Bank without knowing
something
about money. "I suppose I could come up with enough to cover that sort
of wager, but I wouldn't feel right taking it from you...there's no way
you can win a bet like that!"
The little old lady just shook the
bag, and said, "I know what I'm doing...and I can afford to lose,
though
I'm not going to. Is it a bet?"
"Ok, have it your way", said the
president, and they shook hands on it.
"See you at 11:55 tomorrow morning",
said the little old lady, and with that she left.
Next morning at 11:55 the little
old lady arrives with a younger man in a three-piece suit, and is
escorted
to the bank president's office. The president is a nervous wreck,
though
a happy one. He'd gotten almost no sleep the night before, waking every
few minutes to feel his balls to check for impending squareness, but
nothing
happened all night. He had checked hundreds of times that morning, but
still nothing; perfectly normal.
When the little old lady arrived
he started to relax, knowing he had won.
"Come in, please have a seat! Who
might this gentleman be?" asked the president.
"He's my lawyer. For a bet of this
size I want to have a witness. Any objections?"
"No, perfectly understandable", said
the president. "Well, it's now noon, and I'm still unchanged, so I
guess
I win!" he said happily.
"Not so fast!" said the little old
lady. "For a hundred grand I want to verify things personally! Please
drop
your pants."
The bank president is a bit flustered,
but agrees that in her position he'd want proof as well, so he drops
his
pants. The little old lady goes over to him and reaches out to feel the
organs in question.
"Ok, you win, here's your $100,000,"
says the little old lady, handing over a bag of bills. As she does so,
her lawyer starts banging his head against the wall and moaning.
"What's wrong with him?" asks the
bank president.
"Oh, he's just upset. Poor loser
if you ask me. You see, I had a bet for $1,000,000 with him that I
would
have the President of the Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls by noon
today."
