A frog wearing a business suit walks into a bank and goes to stand in line to wait for a teller.
When it is his turn, he approaches the bank teller, whose name is Patricia Whack (don’t laugh), and says
“Hello, Miss, my name is Kermit Jagger, and I would like to take out a loan.”
Miss Whack, after shaking off her surprise, manages to keep a straight face and her professional demeanor.
“Very well. What would you like to offer as collateral for your loan, to ensure that it will be repaid in a timely manner?”
Kermit thought for a moment, then reached into the pocket of his jacket and pulled out a miniature. porcelain elephant, beautifully made and stunningly detailed
“Will this be suitable for collateral?” He asks.
Patricia isn’t certain what to make of this.
“I’m not sure, but let me go ask the bank manager and see what he decides is best.”
Kermit nods, so Patricia picks up the porcelain elephant and leaves to speak to the manager.
Walking into the manager’s office, Patricia sets the elephant on his desk and says “
Sir, there is a frog in the lobby who wishes to take out a loan. He says his name is Kermit Jagger, and when I asked for collateral he gave me this. What is it, and what the heck should I do?”
The manager takes a look at the elephant and says (say it with me) “It’s a knick-knack, Patty Whack, give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone.”
