One day, an old lady went to the Bank of
Canada with a large bag full of money. The old
lady insisted to speak to the president of the
Bank in order to open a savings account
because, she said, she had a lot of money.

After many discussions an
employee took her along to
the office of the president.

The president of the Bank


asked her how much she
wanted to deposit.

She answered him


165.000$, while putting the
money on his desk.

Curious, he asked her how she
succeeded in saving such a lot of
money.

The old lady answered him that she


made bets.

The president quite surprised asked


her: "Which kind of bets?"

The old lady answered him: “For


example, I bet you 25 000 $ that your
testicles are square".

The president started to
laugh and pointed out that
this kind of bets was
impossible to win!

Then, the old lady replied:


"Would like you to make this
bet?".

«Certainly, answered the


president, I guarantee you
25.000$ that my testicles
are not square". 14/01/10

The old lady thus said to
him: "I agree. But given the
importance of the implied
sum, I will come back
tomorrow at 10 AM with my
lawyer as witness if you
don’t see any
inconvenience".

"No problem“ said the


president of the Bank very
trustfully

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 damned testicles could
not be seen as square and
therefore to be sure to win
this bet. .

On the next day, 10 AM
sharp, the old lady arrived
with her lawyer at the office
of the president to confirm
the bet of 25.000$ for the
fact that his testicles were
square.

The president confirmed


that the bet was in
agreement with the
commitments taken the day
before.

The old lady thus asked
him to drop his trousers,
and the remainder, so
that she and her lawyer
can see everything;
what the president
kindly did. The old lady
came then closer to see
and asked him whether
she could touch them or
not.

“Of course please do!",
said the president to her,
given the fact that there
is so much money
involved, you must be
100% sure.

And the lady started to do
so with a smile..

The president realized
that the lawyer was
strucking his head
against the wall.

He asked the old lady


why the lawyer was
reacting like that.

She answered: "It is
probably due to the fact
that I bet 100.000$ with
him that, around 10 AM,
I would be holding the
testicles of the president
of the Bank of Canada
in my hands!

The origin of this Canadian story is unknown, but it brings
luck to all those who will receive it. The person who will
break the chain will certainly be quite unlucky. Do not keep
this joke for you. Just send it to five of your friends whom
you wish luck. You will see that something good will arrive
to you in the next four days. Finally, this will make
everybody’s laughing, so send it!
If you send this joke to more than 5 people: well, you will
have luck during the 5 next years, in addition to the luck
that will come to you within 4 days.
I said it to you: this is a "lucky joke”!
