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 balls are square."

"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 balls are not square!"

The little old lady than said, "Okay, but since there is a
lot of money involved, may I bring my lawyer with me
tomorrow at 10:00 A.M. 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 balls,
turning from side to side, again and again. He thoroughly
checked them out until he was sure that there was absolutely
no way his balls were square and that he would win the bet.

The next morning, at precisely 10:00 A.M., 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 balls are square!"

The president agreed with the bet again and the old lady
asked him to drop his pants so they could all see. The
president complied. The little old lady peered closely at
his balls and then asked if she could feel them.

"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 the hell's the matter with your lawyer?"

She replied, "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that at
10:00 A.M. today, I'd have the Bank of Canada's president's
balls in my hand."

The origination of this letter is unknown, but it brings
good luck to everyone who passes it on. The one who breaks
the chain will have bad luck.
