Business Jokes

A little old lady walked into the main 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 open an account with the bank and deposit the USD3 million she
had in the bag. She said that prior to doing so she wished to meet the president
of the bank due to the large amount of money involved. The teller opened the
bag and saw bundles of USD100 bills and thinking this a reasonable request
telephoned the president's secretary to make an appointment for the lady.


Later the lady was escorted upstairs and ushered into the president's office.
Introductions were made, and she stated that she liked to get to know the people
she did business with on a more personal level. The bank president then asked
her how she came into such a large sum of money and whether it was perhaps
an inheritance.


She replied No, I bet on people.


Seeing his confusion she explained that she just bet different things with
different people. All of a sudden she said, I'll bet you USD25,000 that by 10:00 a.m.
tomorrow morning your balls will be square.


The bank president figured that she must be off her rocker but decided to take
her up on the bet. He didn't see how he could lose. For the rest of the day he
was very careful. He decided to stay home that evening and take no chances,
after all, there was USD25,000 at stake. When he got up in the morning and took his
shower he checked to make sure everything was normal. 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 a.m., humming as he went. He knew
that this would be a good day. How often do you get handed USD25,000 for doing
nothing he thought! At 10:00 a.m. sharp the little old lady was shown into the
president's office. With her was a younger man who she introduced as her
lawyer. She said she always took him along whenever 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'm the same as I've always
been, only USD25,000 richer!


The little old lady seemed to accept this but insisted that she be able to see for
herself. The bank president thought the request reasonable and dropped his
trousers. She instructed him to bend over and then she grabbed hold of him.
Sure enough, everything was fine, but then the Bank President looked up and
saw the lady's attorney across the room, banging his head against the wall.
What's wrong with him? he asked.


Oh, him?, she replied. I bet him USD100,000 that by 10:00 a.m. this morning I'd
have the president of the Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls.
