Crystal ball, huh?

Reminds me of the only pleasant asscoiation I have with the bank where my parents put their money in trust. After my father's death my mother went down to talk with them about investments. At that time they were putting all her own money into a one-decision stock, EK.

The only pleasant part was that they said with what was supposed to be false modesty, "We don't have any crystal balls."

As my mother left she picked up on that phrase and said cheerfully, "You gentlemen keep your balls polished!" They stood there and blinked. After a while she realized what she had said.
