Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Jag to a downtown New York City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of $5,000. The loan officer, somewhat taken aback, requested collateral and so the man said, "Well then, here are the keys to my Jag..." 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, we did a background check and verified that you are a millionaire. Why in the world would you need to borrow $5,000 from us?" The man smiled. "Now tell me, where else could I park my Jag in Manhattan for two full weeks and pay only $15.40?"
