"Immediate Loan" joke
Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce to a downtown New York City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of $5, 000. The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral and so the man said, "Well then, here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce." 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?
