>The president was surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?"

>The elderly woman replied, "Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are

>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

>"Done", the elderly woman answered. "But given the amount of money

>
>"No problem", said the president of the Bank confidently.

>testicles, turning them 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

>The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one

>The president was happy to oblige.
