A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can
see from her name plate 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 is 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 is 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?"
The bank manager looks back at her and says...
...(get ready to groan)....
"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old
man's a rolling stone."
