Cheap Parking in New York


Recommended Posts

A gentleman walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan

officer. He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and

needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such

a loan. So the gentleman hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce parked

on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank

agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives

the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the gentleman returns, repays the $5,000 and the

interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "We are

very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked

out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we

checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles

us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" The gentleman replied,

"Where else in New York can I park my car for two weeks for 15 bucks?"
