A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.
She says she is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to
borrow $5,000.
The bank officer says the bank wil need some kind of security for such a
loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce parked on the
street in front of the bank.
Everything checks out and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral
for the loan.
An employee drives the rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks
it there. Two weeks later, the blonde returns, re-pays the $5,000 loan and
the interest which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says "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
from us?
The blonde replied "where else in New York can I park my car for two weeks
for 15 bucks?"
