A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her
name plate that her name is Patricia Whack. "Miss Whack, I'd like to get
a$30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and
asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick
Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager. Patty explains that
he will need to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog says, "Sure.
I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright
pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to
consult with the bankmanager and disappears into a back office. She finds
the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who
claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as
collateral. She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the
world is this?"
The bank manager looks back at her and says... "It's
a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
