Not Just
Another Frog Story
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the
teller. He can see from her nameplate that the
teller's name is Patricia Whack. So he says,
"Mrs. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a
boat and go on a long vacation."
Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how
much he wants to borrow.
The frog says, "$30,000."
The teller asks his name and the frog says that
his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick
Jagger, and that it's " OK," he knows the bank
manager.
Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial
amount of money and that he will need to secure some
collateral against the loan. She asks 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 and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to
consult with the manager and disappears into a back
office. She finds the manager and says,
"There's a frog out there called Kermit Jagger who
claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. 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." |
