QuoteThis is a joke that should bring you luck.
     

                     

                    An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings   account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bank   because, she said, she had a lot of money.
                   
                    After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always
                    right) an employee took the elderly woman to the presidents office.
                   
                    The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She
                    placed her purse on his desk and replied,   "$165,000". The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The elderly woman   replied that she made bets.
                   
                    The president was surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?"
                   
                    The elderly woman replied, "Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square."
                   
                    The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was
                    impossible to win a bet like that.
                   
                    The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the
                    president and said, "Would you like to take my bet?"
                   
                    "Certainly", replied the president. "I bet you $25,000 that my
                    testicles are not square."
                   
                    "Done", the elderly woman answered. "But given the amount of money involved, if you dont mind I would like to come back at 10 oclock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness."
                   
                    "No problem", said the president of the Bank confidently.
                   
                    That night, the president became very nervous about the bet
                    and spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his
                    testicles, turning them this way and that, checking them over again and again until he was positive that no one could
                    consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no
                    way he could lose the bet.
                   
                    The next morning at exactly 10 oclock the elderly woman
                    arrived at the presidents office with her lawyer and
                    acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the
                    presidents testicles were square.
                   
                    The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one
                    made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to
                    drop his pants etc. so that she and her lawyer could see clearly.
                   
                    The president was happy to oblige.
                   
                    The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and
                    asked the president if she could touch them. "Of course", said the president. "Given the amount of money involved, you
                    should be 100% sure."
                   
                    The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the
                    president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied, "Oh, its probably because I bet him $100,000 that around
                    10 oclock in the morning I would be holding the balls of the President of the Bank of Canada !"
                   
                    The origin of this Canadian story is unknown but it brings luck to everyone to whom it is sent. Whoever breaks the chain would definitely be unlucky.
                   
                    Do not keep this letter. And do not send money. Just forward it to five of your friends to whom you wish good luck. Something good will happen to you in the next four days. If the chain is not broken, you will have good luck during the four days.

You must print this chain letter into one thousand copies on plain white 80gsm paper and run it through a shredder to produce enough bedding to comfortably sleep all the neighbourhood pets OR YOUR FAMILY WILL DIE OH NOES!

why do some people (not aimed at you bear) feel the need to take a perfectly good joke and turn it into a stupid chain email?
