Chase Manhatten Bank

An elderly lady walked into a branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank building 
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 said that first, though, she would like to 
meet the President of Chase Manhattan Bank.  Due to the amount of money 
involved, the teller seemed to think that that was a reasonable request 
and after opening the paper bag and seeing bundles of $1,000 bills which 
amounted to right around $3 million, telephoned the 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.

"I bet," she stated.

"As in horses?" he asked.

"No," she replied.  "I bet people."  Seeing his confusion, she explained 
that she just bet on different things with people.  All of a sudden she 
said, "I'll bet you $25,000 that by 10:00 o'clock tomorrow morning your 
balls will be square."

The bank president figured she must be off her rocker and decided to take 
her 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 o'clock sharp the woman was shown into his office.  With her was 
a man.  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 and dropped his trousers.  She 
instructed him to bend over and then she grabbed hold of him.  Sure 
enough, everything was fine.  His balls were not square.

The bank president then looked up and saw her lawyer, 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 o'clock this 
morning I'd have the president of Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls."
