2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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”.

5. The president started to
laugh and pointed out that
this kind of bet was
impossible to win!
The old lady replied: “Would
you like to make a bet?”
“Certainly”, answered the
president, “I can guarantee
you that my testicles are not
square”.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. On the next day, 10 AM
sharp, the old lady arrived
with her lawyer at the office
of the president.

9. 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.

10. “Of course please do!”,
said the president, given
the fact that there was so
much money involved,
“you must be 100% sure.”

do so..

12. The president looked up
to see the lawyer banging
his head against the wall.
He asked the old lady
“What is he doing?”

13. 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!”

14. The origin of this Canadian story is unknown, but it brings
luck to all those who receive it. The person who breaks the
chain will certainly be quite unlucky. Do not keep this joke.
Send it to five of your friends who you wish luck. You will
see that something good will happen in the next four days.
Besides, this will make everybody laugh, so share it!
If you send this joke to more than 5 people: you will have
luck during the 5 next years, in addition to the luck that will
come to you within 4 days.
