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 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,
repays the $5,000 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?" The Blonde replied, "Where
else in New York can I park my car for two weeks for
$15?"
