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?"
Finally, a smart blonde.
