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 $6,000. The loan officer was quite taken a
back, and
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 safekeeping, and gave
him 6,000. Two
weeks later, the man walked through the bank’s
doors, and asked to settle
up his loan and get his car back. The loan
officer checked the records
and told him, “That will be $6,000 in
principal, and $18.40 in
interest.” The man wrote out a check,
thanked the loan officer, 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? The man smiled.
“Where else could I securely park my
Rolls-Royce in Manhattan for t
wo weeks and pay only $18.40?”
