The joke  that brings you luck!  Copyright 1996-99 © Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc.
One day, an old lady went to the Bank of Canada with a large bag full of money. The old lady insisted on speaking to the president of the Bank in order to open a savings account because, she said, she had a lot of money .
After much discussion an employee took her to the office of the president.   The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit.   She said $165,000.
Curious, he asked her how she had saved such a large sum of money.   The old lady said she made bets.     The president, quite surprised, asked: “Which kind of bets?”   The  old lady said: “For example, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square”.  
The president started to laugh and pointed out that this kind of bet was impossible to win!   T he old lady replied: “Would you like to make a bet?”     “Certainly”, answered the president, “I can guarantee you that my testicles are not square”.
The old lady said to him:  “Given the size of the bet, I’ll come back tomorrow at 10 AM with my lawyer as a  witness, if it’s alright with you”.     “No problem” said the president.
That evening, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of his mirror examining his testicles, turning them in all directions, again and again, in order to make sure that his testicles could not be seen as square and therefore be sure to win this bet.
On the next day, 10 AM sharp, the old lady arrived with her lawyer at the office of the president.   
The president then dropped his trousers so that she and her lawyer could see everything. The old lady came closer and asked him if  she could touch them.

The lady, smiling, started to do so..
The president looked up to see the lawyer banging his head against the wall.   He asked the old lady “What is he doing?”
She answered: “It’s probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 AM today, I would be holding the testicles of the president of the Bank of Canada in my hands!”
