A blond walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan
officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for three 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 blond 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. Three weeks later, the blond returns, repays the $5,000 and
the interest, which comes to $18.41. The loan officer says, "Miss, we
are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has
worked out very well, 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 you would bother to borrow
$5,000?"
The blond replies, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for
three weeks for only $18.41... and expect it to be there when I return?"
