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 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?"
