Cheap Parking
Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce
to a downtown NY City bank and went in to ask for an immediate
loan of $5,000.
The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral. "Well, then,
here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce", the man said.
The loan officer promptly had the car driven into the bank's
underground parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5,000.
Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank's doors, and
asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. "That will be
$5,000 in principal, and $20.30 in Interest", the loan officer
said. The man wrote out a check and started to walk away.
"Wait sir", the loan officer said, "while you were gone, I found
out you are a millionaire. Why in the world would you need to
borrow $5,000?"
The man smiled. "Where else could I park my Rolls-Royce in
Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $20.30?
