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 $5,000.00.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 andeverything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral forthe loan. The bank’s president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh atthe blonde for using a $250,000.00 Rolls Royce as collateral against a$5,000.00 loan. An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Rollsinto the bank’s underground garage and parks it there.Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $5,000.00 and the interest,which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, “Miss, we are very happy tohave had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely,but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you outand found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you botherto borrow $5,000.00?” The blonde replies, “Where else in New York City can I park mycar for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?”
