COMEDY FOR THE WISE

Mr.Singh walks into a bank in Central
London and asks for the Loan officer. He
says he's going abroad on business for
two weeks and needs to borrow £5,000.
The bank officer says the bank will need
some kind of security for the loan, so
Mr.Singh hands over the keys to his Rolls
Royce.

The car is parked on the street in front of
the bank, he has the title and everything
checks out. The bank agrees to accept the
car collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all
enjoy a good laugh at Mr.Singh for using a
£300,000 Rolls as collateral against a
£5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then proceeds to
drive the Rolls Royce into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, Mr.Singh returns, repays
the £5,000 and the interest, which comes
to £15.41
The loan officer says, "Sir, 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're a multimillionaire.
What puzzles us is, why would you bother
to borrow £5,000?"
Mr.Singh replies, "Where else in Central
London can I park my Rolls Royce for two
weeks for only £15.41 and expect it to be
there when I return?"
