So the businessman hands
over the keys to a 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 businessman returns, repays the
$7,000 and the interest, which comes to $19.67. 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 confused. While you were away,
we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What
confuses us is why would you bother to borrow $7,000?"
The businessman replied, "Where
else in San Francisco can I park my car for two weeks for $20 bucks?"
