Cheap
Parking
In New York, a guy walks into a bank. He tells the load
officer that he needs to borrow $5000 because he is going to Europe for a two
week trip. The loan officer says the bank will need collateral for the loan so
the guy hands him the keys and the title papers to his brand new Ferrari that is
parked in the street in front of the bank.
Obviously, a $250,000 Ferrari
is more than enough collateral so the loan officer gives him the $5000. The guy
leaves and the loan officer drives the Ferrari into the banks underground
parking garage and parks it.
Over the next few days, the big joke among
the bank employees is all about the foolish man that put up $250,000 collateral
for a measly $5000 loan.
But, two weeks later, the guy returns from his
trip and repays his loan. Plus $26.92 interest.
The loan officer says to
the guy, 'I want to thank you for your business, but I'm curious. While you were
away, I checked and found out you are a multimillionaire. I don't understand why
you bothered to borrow $5000 when you have so much money.'
The guy
replies, 'Where else in New York can I park my Ferrari for $2.00/day and expect
it to be there when I return?'
