Amphibians Need Money, Too
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see
from her nameplate 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 bank manager 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 knick-knack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan.
His old man's a Rolling Stone."
