Day: 20 January 2003

A little old lady went into the Natwest Bank one day carrying a bag of money. She insists that she must speak with the manager of the bank to open a savings account because it’s a lot of money.

They finally get her into the managers office and he asks her how much she would like to deposit. She says she has £100,000 and then dumps it out of the bag onto his desk. The manager was surprised and of course curious as to how she came by all this cash, so he asks her. The old lady says, “I make bets”.

The manager replies, “Bets? What kind of bets?” and she says, “for example, I’ll bet you £5,000 that your balls are square”. “Ha!” says the manager, “That’s a stupid bet, you can never win that kind of bet”.

The old lady says,”So, would you like to take my bet?” “Sure,” says the manager, “I’ll bet £5,000 that my balls are not square!” The little old lady says “OK, but since there is a lot of money involved is it OK with you if I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow at 10:00 AM to witness?” “Sure” says the manager.

That night the manager 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, thoroughly checking them out until he was sure that there is no way his balls are square and that he will win the bet.

The next morning at 10 AM the little old lady appears with her lawyer at the manager’s office. She introduces the lawyer to the manager and repeats the bet, that £5,000 says the manager’s balls are square. The manager agrees with the bet again and the old lady asks him to drop his trousers and underwear so they can see. The manager does this. The little old lady looks closely at his balls and then asks if she can feel them. “Well, OK” says the manager, £5,000 is a lot of money, so I guess you should be absolutely sure”.

Then he notices that the lawyer is quietly banging his head against the wall and he asks the old lady, “What is wrong with your lawyer?”

She replies, “Nothing, except I bet him £15,000 that by 10 AM today I’d have Natwest banks manager’s balls in my hands!”
