A little old lady walked into the head branch of the Chase
Manhattan Bank holding a large paper bag in her hand. She told
the young man at the window that she wished to take the 3
million she had in the bag and open an account with the bank.
She said that first, though, she wished to meet the president
of Chase Manhattan Bank due to the amount of money involved.
The teller seemed to think that was a reasonable request and
after opening the paper bag and seeing the bundles of 1,000
bills which amounted to right around 3 million, telephoned the
bank's secretary to obtain an appointment for the lady.
The lady was escorted upstairs and ushered into the president's
office. Introductions were made and she stated that she would
like to get to know the people she did business with on a more
personal level. The bank president then asked her where she
came into such a large amount of money. "Was it an
inheritance?" he asked. "No." she answered. "Was it from
playing the stock market?" "No." she replied.
He was quiet for a minute, trying to think of where this little
old lady could possibly come into 3 million. "I bet." she
stated. "You bet?" repeated the bank president. "As in
horses?" "No." she replied, "I bet people."
Seeing his confusion, she explained that she justs bets on
different things with different people. All of a sudden she
said, "I'll bet you $25,
000.00 that by 10:00 o'clock tomorrow morning, your balls will
be square."
The bank president figured she must be off her rocker and
decided to take her up on the bet. He didn't see how he could
lose. For the rest of the day, the bank president was very
careful. He decided to stay home that evening and take no
chances; there was $25,
000.00 at stake.
When he got up in the morning and took his shower, he checked
to make sure everything was okay. There was no difference- he
looked the same as he always had. He went to work and waited
for the little old lady to come in at 10:00 o'clock, humming as
he went. He knew this would be a good day- how often do you get
handed $25,
000.00 for doing nothing. At 10:00 o'clock sharp the little
old lady was shown into his office. With her was a younger
man. When he inquired as to the man's purpose for being there,
she informed him that he was her lawyer and she always took him
along when there was this much money involved.
"Well," she asked, "what about our bet?" "I don't know how to
tell you this," he replied, "but I am the same as I've always
been only $25,
000.00 richer." The lady seemed to accept this, but requested
that she be able to see for herself. The bank president
thought this was reasonable and dropped his trousers. She
instructed him to bend over and then grabbed a hold of him.
Sure enough, everything was fine. The bank president then
looked up and saw her lawyer standing across the room banging
his head against the wall.
"What' wrong with him?" he inquired. "Oh him," she replied,
"I bet him $100,
000.00 that by 10:00 o'clock this morning that I'd have the
president of Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls
