Frog Loan
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the cashier. He
can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia
Whack.
"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $5,000 loan to take a
holiday." Pattie looks at the frog in disbelief and
asks his name.
The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad
is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank
manager.
Pattie explains that he will need to secure the loan
with some collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have
this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about
half an inch tall - bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Pattie explains that she'll have to
consult with the bank manager and disappears into a
back office.
She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog named
Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and
wants to borrow $5,000, and he wants to use this as
collateral."
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in
the world is this?"
The bank manager looks back at her and says...
"It's a knickknack, Pattie Whack. Give the frog a
loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
