Joke for Dru

[catbirdseat]

An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse

full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking

to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money.

After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right), an

employee took the elderly woman to the president's office. The president of

the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on

his desk and replied, "$165,000". The president was curious and asked her

how she had been able to save so much money.

 

The elderly woman replied that she made bets. The president was surprised

and asked, "What kind of bets?" The elderly woman replied, "Well, I'll bet

you $25,000 that your testicles are square." The president started to laugh

and told the woman that it was impossible to win a bet like that. The woman

never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and said, "Would you

like to take my bet?" "Certainly", replied the president. "I bet you $25,000

that my testicles are not square." "Done", the elderly woman answered. "But

given the amount of money involved, if you don't mind I would like to come

back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness." "No

problem", said the president of the Bank confidently. That night, the

president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front

of the mirror examining his testicles, turning hem this way and that,

checking them over again and again until he was positive that no one could

consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no

way he could lose the bet. The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the

elderly woman arrived at the president's office with her lawyer and

acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the president's

testicles were square. The president confirmed that the bet was the same as

the one made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his

pants etc. so that she and her lawyer could see clearly. The president was

happy to oblige. The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and

asked the president if she could touch them. "Of course", said the

president.

 

"Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure." The elderly

woman did so with a little smile.

 

Suddenly the president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against

the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied,

"Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the

morning I would be holding the balls of the President of the Bank of

Canada!"

Are you stuck - no asshole I'm transporting this bridge

[murraysovereign]

Just to be thoroughly pedantic - the Bank of Canada does not take deposits: it's a regulatory body, equivalent to the US Federal Reserve Board, responsible for setting interest rates and managing the money supply. And it doesn't have a President, it has a Governor. His name's David Dodge. I've never met him, but I'm sure he's a very nice man.

 

You're welcome
