Parking in New York City
Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks
for the loan officer.
He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on
business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
The bank officer tells him that the bank will need
some form of security for the loan, so the Indian man
hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the
street in front of the bank.
He produces the title and everything checks out.
The loan officer agrees to accept the car as
collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good
laugh at the Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as
collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into
the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000
and the interest, which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says, "Sir, 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 multi-millionaire.
What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow
$5,000?"
The Indian 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?"
Ah, the mind of the Indian !
