An rather elderly lady carrying a soiled lunchbag
walked into the main offices of the Chase 
Mahattan Bank, went to the nearest teller's 
window, plunked down the bag, and said: 'I wish 
to make a deposit, but beforehand I'd like to 
meet with the President of the bank' 

The clerk was about to explain that this was 
quite impossible, when a quick count showed there
to be somewhat over 3 million dollars in cash in 
the sack! 

Flabergasted at the amount, he called upstairs to
the President's office and explained the 
situation to his secretary who relayed it to her
boss. The old lady was ushered upstairs into the
President's office and introductions were made. 
Wondering how this old lady had come by such a 
tidy sum, the President inquired: 
'Are you in the stock market?' 

'No' 

'Play the horses then...?' 

'No,...actually I do wager,...but I prefer to 
bet on people.' 

'I see.' said the President. 

'Yes', continued the old lady,...'As a matter of 
fact, I will wager you $25,000.00 dollars that by
tomorrow morning at 9 O'clock your balls will be 
square!' 

Speculating that he could not possibly lose the 
bet, the President said: 'I'll have to take you
up on that one!' 

He and the old lady shook hands and parted 
company. The President was very carefull the rest
of the day and did not go out that evening to 
avoid risk. Next morning as he was showering, he
checked himself and all was as it should be. He 
went to work humming! 

At exactly 9 O'clock the old lady was again shown
into the President's office only this time 
accompanied by a distinguished looking gentleman 
in an expensive suit. The woman explained, 'This 
is Mr. Bartelby my attorney, I always bring him 
along when dealing in large sums.' 

The President acknowledged the lawyer and then 
said, 'Well I hate to tell you this, but I am the
same as yesterday only $25000.00 richer!' 

The old lady asked for proof, and in light of the
sum involved, the President agreed to drop his 
trousers to allow the old lady to grasp his 
scrotum. 

At this point the attorney started to bang his 
head against the President's desk with vigor. 

'What's wrong with him!' asked the President. 

'Oh him,' said the woman, 'I bet him $100000.00
yesterday that by 9:15 tomorrow I would have the
President of Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls!'
