An elderly lady walked into a branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank holding a
large paper bag in her hand. She told the young man at the window that she
wished to take the $3 million she had in the bag and open an account with
the bank.
She then said: "First, I would like to meet the President of Chase
Manhattan Bank". Due to the amount of money involved, the teller seemed to
think that this was a reasonable request. He then opened the paper bag and
saw bundles of $1,000 bills, which amounted to right around $3 million.
He called the Bank President's secretary to obtain an appointment for the
woman. The woman was escorted upstairs and ushered into the president's
office. Introductions were made and she stated that she liked to get to
know the people she did business with on a more personal level. The bank
president then asked her how she came into such a large sum of money.
"Was it an inheritance?" he asked.
"No," she answered.
"Was it from playing the stock market?" he inquired.
"No," she replied.
He was quiet for a second, trying to think of where this elderly woman
could possibly have come up with $3 million dollars.
"I bet," she stated.
"As in horses?" he asked.
"No," she replied. "I bet people." Then, seeing his confusion, she
explained that she simply bets on different things with people. For
instance she said: "I'll bet you $25,000 that by 10:00 o'clock tomorrow
morning your testicles will be square."
The bank president figured she must be off her rocker and decided to take
her up on her bet. He didn't know how he could lose. For the rest of the
day he was very careful. He decided to stay home that evening and take no
chances as there was $25,000 at stake.
When he got up in the morning and took his shower, he checked to make sure
everything was okay. There was no difference in his scrotal appearance. He
looked the same as he always had. He went to work and waited for the woman
to come in at 10:00 o'clock, humming as he went. He knew this would be his
lucky day -- how often did
he get handed $25,000 for doing nothing?
At 10:00 a.m. sharp, the woman was shown into his office. She had a man
with her. When the bank president asked what the other man was doing in the
office, she informed the president that he was her lawyer, and she always
took him along when there was that much money involved.
"Well," she asked, "what about our bet?"
"I don't know how to tell you this," he replied, "but I'm the same as I've
always been, only $25,000 richer!"
The lady seemed to accept this, but requested that she be able to see for
herself. The bank president thought this was a reasonable request,
considering the amount of money involved, so he dropped his trousers.
She instructed him to bend over, and then she grabbed hold of him. Sure
enough, everything was fine. His testicles were not square. The bank president
then looked up and saw her lawyer. He was standing across the room banging
his head against the wall. "What's wrong with him?" he inquired...
"Oh, him," she answered. I bet him $100,000 that by 10:00 this morning I'd
have the president of Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls." |
