A little old lady walked into a branch of Chase Manhattan Bank holding a large paper bag. She told the teller that she had $3 million in the bag and wanted to open an account. But first, she insisted on meeting the president of the bank. After looking into the bag and seeing a huge amount of money that might well have amounted to $3 million, the teller called the president's office.

The lady was ushered into the president's presence. She explained that she liked to know the people that she did business with. The president asked her how she'd come into such a large amount of cash. 'Was it an inheritance?'

'No: she replied, 'I bet.'

'You bet?' repeated the president. 'On horses?' 'No: she replied, 'on people.'

Seeing his confusion, she decided to demonstrate. 'I'll bet you $25 000 that by 10 a.m. tomorrow your balls will be square.' The bank president immediately accepted the bet and for the rest of the day was very, very careful. He decided to stay home that evening and take no chances.

Next morning he checked himself in the shower to make sure that everything was okay. Everything was. He went to work and waited for the little old lady to come in at 10 and give him his $25 000.

At 10 a.m. sharp she was escorted into his

office with a younger man whom she introduced as her lawyer. '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 always have been, only $25 000 richer.'

The lady requested that she be able to see for herself and the president. thinking this was reasonable, dropped his trousers. She then instructed him to bend over and grabbed hold of him. Yes, everything was normal. As the president adjusted his clothing, he noticed her lawyer banging his head against the wall. 'What's wrong with him?' the president asked.

'Oh him: she replied, 'I bet him $100000 that by 10 this morning I'd have the president of Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls.'
