A
Joke illustrating benefits
of thinking outside the box
A
businessman walks into a bank in
New York City and asks for the
loan officer. He says he is
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 man
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 man
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 businessman replied, "Where
else in New York can I park my
car for two weeks for 15 bucks?"
