$5,000 Loan
December 27, 2008 – 9:31 am | by godA businessman walked into a New York bank and asked for the loan officer. He said he was going to Europe for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000. The loan officer said the bank would need some security for the loan. The businessman then handed over the keys to a Rolls-Royce that was parked on the street in front of the bank.
Everythng checked out and the loan officer accepted the car as collateral for the loan. An employee then drove it into the bank’s underground garage and parked it there. Two weeks later the businessman returned, repaid the 5,000 dollars and the interest, which came to $15.00.
The loan officer said, “We do appreciate your business and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a bit puzzled. While you were away we checked and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000?”
The business man replied: “Where else in New York City could I park my car for two weeks for 15 bucks?”

Nice! That joke was hilarious when I first heard it…15 years ago.

If you’re too much of a chick to handle a sarcastic comment, you should probably just close the comments all together.
Right after you delete this one too, of course. You puss.
