The old woman chuckled and said, “Sonny, when you’re my age, you learn how to hold your liquor. Water, however, is a whole other issue.”
The Wise Old Lady at the Bank
An elderly lady walked into a bank, intending to withdraw some money.
She handed her bank card to the teller and said politely, “I’d like to withdraw $500, please.”
The female teller frowned slightly and said, “For withdrawals less than $5,000, please use the ATM.”
“Why?” asked the old lady.
“These are the rules,” the teller replied irritably. “Please step aside if there’s no other matter; there’s a line behind you.” She handed the card back.
The old lady remained silent for a moment… then returned the card and said calmly, “Please help me withdraw all the money in my account.”
The teller, astonished, checked the account balance. Her eyes widened. “Oh… my apologies, ma’am. You have $3.5 million in your account, and we don’t currently have that much cash on hand. Could you make an appointment to come back tomorrow?”
The old lady asked, “How much can I withdraw right now?”
