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 laugh 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 blonde 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?”
