<font size="2">A blond walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the<br />loan officer.<br />She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and<br />needs to borrow $5,000.<br /><br />The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of<br />security for the loan, so the blond hands over the keys to<br />a new Mercedes Benz SL 500. The car is parked on the street<br />in front of the bank. She has the title, and everything<br />checks out.<br /><br />The bank agrees to accept the car collateral for the loan.<br />The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh<br />at the blond for using a $110,000 Benz as collateral<br />against a $5,000 loan.<br /><br />An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Benz into<br />the bank's underground garage and parks it there.<br /><br />Two weeks later, the blond returns. She repays the $5,000<br />and the interest, which comes to $15.41.<br /><br />The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had<br />your business, and this transaction has worked out very<br />nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we<br />checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire.<br />What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"<br /><br />The blond replies, "Where else in New York City can I park<br />my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be<br />there when I return?"</font><br /><br />
