Easy Parking
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 banks underground parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5,000.
Two weeks later, the man walked through the banks doors, and asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. That will be $5,000 in principal, and $20.30 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 $20.30?
