Joke - The Blonde's $5,000 Loan

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she's going to Europe 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 the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked in the bank's garage, she hands over the title and everything checks out.

The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral. After she leaves, the president and bank officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Miss, 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 are very wealthy. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The blonde replies, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"



"Finally, a smart blonde joke." Thanks to Elaine for sending this along.
