An Uncanny Gambler

One morning when a lady walked into the headquarters of a popular Bank carrying a large bag of money, she insisted that she must speak with the president of the bank before she opens a savings account, because it's a lot of money. The receptionist objected, stating, "You can't just walk in here and expect to see the president of the Bank.  He's a very busy man." The then lady added, "But I am here to make a very large cash deposit. The receptionist momentarily looked at the sack of money, walked to one of the rear offices, came back and said, "You're in luck this morning, he will see you." And she ushered her in to a large office, with the president, a nicely tailored man behind a great oaken desk who stood up and asked, "How may I help you?" She placed the bag of money on his desk and replied, "I would like to open a savings account." And when the president asked curiously, "How much would you like to deposit?" The lady dumped the cash out of her bag onto his desk and said, "$180,000, if you please."

The President was surprised to see all that cash, so he asked, "Ma'am, I'm surprised you're carrying so much cash around, especially a woman. How did you come by this kind of money?" And the lady replied, "I make bets." Surprised, the president then asked, "Bets?  What kind of bets?" The lady said, "Well, for example, I'll bet you $25,000 that your balls are square." The president exclaimed, "What! You want to bet me $25,000 that my balls, my testicles, are square?" He could hardly hold back from laughing. The lady responded, "Yes, you heard me right. In fact, by ten o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll bet you $25,000 that your balls will be square." The president smiled broadly, thinking he had a live one, agreed and shook her hand, "You've got yourself a bet!" The lady then said, "Okay, but since there is a lot of money involved, may I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. as a witness?" And the president replied confidently, "Sure!"

That night, the president 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.  He thoroughly checked them out until he was sure that there was absolutely no way his balls were square and that he would win the bet. The next morning, at precisely 10:00 a.m., the lady appeared with her lawyer at the president's office. She introduced the lawyer to the president and repeated the bet, "$25,000 says the president's balls are square!" The president agreed with the bet again and the lady asked him to drop his pants so they could all see. The president complied. The lady peered closely at his balls and then asked if she could feel them. Though obviously embarrassed, the president thought to himself, "Yes, $25,000 is a lot of money,” then said, “Well! I guess it is okay you should be absolutely sure." 

And as the lady started to feel the president's testicles, he noticed that the lawyer was quietly banging his head against the wall. So he asked the lady, "What the hell's the matter with your lawyer?" And the lady replied, "Nothing, except that I had bet him $100,000 that at 10:00 a.m. today, I'd have the balls of the president of this Bank in my hands."
