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, "Ms. 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.
Bright pink 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 called Kermit Jagger out there 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?"
(Are you ready???) (Don't be mad if you didn't see
it coming....)
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."
