A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada one day. carrying a
bag of money. She insisted that she must speak with the
president of the Bank to open a savings account because, "It's a
lot of money!"
After much hemming and hawing, the bank staff finally ushered
her into the president's office (the customer is always right!)
The bank president then asked her how much she would like to
deposit. She replied, "$165,000!" and dumped the cash out of
her bag onto his desk.
The president was of course curious as to how she came by all
this cash, so he asked her, "Ma'am, I'm surprised you're
carrying so much cash around. "Where did you get this
money?"
The old lady replied, "I make bets."
The president then asked, "Bets? What kind of bets?"
The old woman said, "Well, for example, I'll bet you $25,000 that
your chest is not hairy."
"Ha!" laughed the president, "That's a stupid bet.
You can never win that kind of bet!"
The old lady challenged, "So, would you like to take my bet?"
"Sure," said the president, I'll bet $25,000 that my chest is
hairy!"
The little old lady then said, "Okay, but since there is a lot of
money involved, may I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow at
10:00 AM as a witness?"
"Sure!" replied the confident president.
That night, the president got very nervous about the bet and
spent a long time in front of a mirror checking his chest,
turning from side to side, again and again.
He thoroughly checked it out until he was sure there was
absolutely no way his chest was not hairy and that he would win
the bet.
The next morning, at precisely 10:00 am, the little old lady
appeared with her lawyer at the president's office. She
introduced the lawyer to the president and repeated the bet:
"$25,000 says the president's chest is not hairy!"
The president agreed with the bet again and the old lady asked
him to take off his shirt so they could all see. The president did.
The little old lady peered closely at his chest and then asked if
she could feel it.
"Well, Okay," said the president, "$25,000 is a lot of money, so I
guess you should be absolutely sure."
Just then, he noticed that the lawyer was quietly
banging his head against the wall. The President asked the old
lady, "What is the matter with your lawyer?"
She replied, "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that at 10:00 AM
today, I would have the Bank of Canada's president's shirt off
and have my hand on his chest."h
