A Nice Idea...
Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Limo to a
downtown NY City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan
of $5,000. The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral.
"Well, then, here are the keys to my Limo," the man
said. The loan officer promptly had the car driven into the bank's
underground parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5,000.
Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank's doors, and
asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. "That will
be $5,000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest," the loan
officer said. The man wrote out a check and started to walk away.
"Wait sir," the loan officer said, "while you
were gone I learned that you are a millionaire. Why in the world
would you need to borrow $5,000?"
The man smiled. "Where else could I park my Limo in Manhattan
for two weeks and pay only $15.40?"
