Blonde walks into a bank in Johannesburg and asks for the loans dept.
She says she's going to Europe on business for three weeks and needs to
borrow R10,000. 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 on the street in front of the bank, she has
the papers and everything checked out.
The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.The bank
manager and its staff all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a
R500,000 Rolls as collateral against a R10,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Rolls into the
bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the R10,000 and the
interest, which comes to R141.66. The bank manager 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 a multimillionaire. What puzzles
us is, why would you bother to borrow R10,000?"
The blond replies ... "Where else in Johannesburg can I park my car for
two weeks for only R141.66 and expect it to be there when I return?"
