The $5,000 Loan


> > 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?"
