A Patel 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 man hands over the keys of 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 man 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 your bank a/c and
found that you are a multimillionaire.

What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow
$5,000?"

The Patel replied, "Where else in NewYork can I park
my car for two weeks for 15 bucks?
