Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce 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 Rolls-Royce", 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 found out
you are a millionaire. Why in the world would you need to borrow $5,000?"
The man smiled. "Where else could I park my Rolls-Royce in
Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $15.40?"
