The Frog
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her name tag that her name is Patricia Whack.
So, he says, "Ms. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation."
Patricia looks at the frog in disbelief and ask how much he wants to borrow.
The frog says "$75,000."
The teller ask his name and the frog says that is name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it is "OK," he knows the bank manager personally.
Patricia explains that $75,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She ask if he has anything he can use as collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I have this!" and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. Bright pink, and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patricia explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into the back office.
She finds the manager and says, "There is a frog called Kermit Jagger out in the lobby who claims to know you and he wants to borrow $75,000 to buy a boat and go on vacation. And he wants to use this as collateral."
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what the heck is this?"
The bank manager looks back at her and says....
"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone!"
You know that's funny!
