A little something to brighten up Tuesday....

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 $1000 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 just bets different
things with 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's wrong with him?" he inquired.

"Oh him,"  she replied,  "I bet him $100,000.00 that by 11:15 this
morning I'd have the president of Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls."
