A quirky woman named Betty walked into a local bank carrying a huge bag of cash. She approached the receptionist and said, \u201cI\u2019d like to meet the president of the bank to deposit this money.\u201d<\/p>\n
The receptionist was a bit taken aback and tried to explain that it wasn\u2019t necessary to see the president for a regular deposit. But Betty was persistent, and after a few moments, the receptionist reluctantly agreed to take her inside.<\/p>\n
A little while later, the receptionist returned and said, \u201cYou\u2019re in luck today\u2014he\u2019ll see you now!\u201d<\/p>\n
The bank president greeted Betty, saying, \u201cHow can I help you, ma\u2019am?\u201d<\/p>\n
Betty, with a gleam in her eye, said, \u201cI want to open a new account and deposit this money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, how much are we depositing?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
Betty smiled and replied, \u201c$180,000, please!\u201d And with that, she began unloading stacks of cash onto his desk.<\/p>\n
The bank president was floored. \u201cHow did you come by this much cash? We\u2019re not a laundering service!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, don\u2019t worry,\u201d Betty said, waving her hand. \u201cIt\u2019s all perfectly legal. I just make bets.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBets?\u201d the president asked, now even more curious.<\/p>\n
Betty nodded and said, \u201cFor example, I bet you that your right hand will taste like eggs\u2014not your left hand, just your right. If I win, you owe me $25,000. If I lose, I\u2019ll give you $10,000.\u201d<\/p>\n
The president, still stunned, thought it was a weird but easy bet to win. \u201cI\u2019ll take that bet,\u201d he said almost immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cGood,\u201d Betty replied, \u201cI\u2019ll be back at 9:00 AM tomorrow with my lawyer. Don\u2019t back out now!\u201d<\/p>\n
That night, the bank president couldn\u2019t stop thinking about the bizarre bet. He didn\u2019t even like eggs! He spent the night nervously licking and sniffing his hands, trying to figure out how this could even be possible.<\/p>\n
The next morning, exactly at 9:00 AM, Betty showed up with her lawyer. She wasted no time and said, \u201cCan I check your hands now?\u201d<\/p>\n
The president, trying to act calm, nodded. \u201cSure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Betty carefully sniffed his right hand, then, without warning, licked it.<\/p>\n
At that moment, the lawyer started banging his head against the wall.<\/p>\n
Confused, the president asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on with him?\u201d<\/p>\n
Betty grinned and said, \u201cOh, he had a bet with me for $100,000. He thought I was crazy when I said I\u2019d be licking the hands of the Bank of America president at 9:00 AM today!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
