A blonde walks into a bank in Toronto and asks for the loan department.
She says she's going to Europe on business for three weeks and needs
to borrow $10,000.
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 papers and everything checks out.
The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank manager
and his staff all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $100,000 Rolls as
collateral against a $10,000 loan. An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive
the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Three weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $10,000 and the interest,
which comes to $141.66. The bank manager 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
multi-millionaire. Why would you bother to borrow $10,000?"
The blonde replies, "Where else in Toronto can I park my car for three weeks for
only $141.66 and expect it to be there when I return?" |
