A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks
for the loan officer.
She says she's going to Europe
on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of
security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the
keys to a new Rolls Royce.
The car is parked on the street in front of the bank,
she has the title and everything checks out.
The bank
agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good
at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as
collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the
bank then proceeds to drive the Rolls into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $5,000
and the interest, which comes to $15.41.
The loan
officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had
your business, and this transaction has worked out
very nicely, but we are a little puzzled.
While you were
away, we checked you out and found that you are a
multimillionaire.
What puzzles us is, why would you
bother to borrow $5,000?"
The blond replies......."Where else in New York City
can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and
expect it to be there when I return?"
