Just picked up this cute story...................
Here's an amusing story about a man and his Rolls Royce: "Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce to a downtown New York City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of $5,000. The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral. 'Well, then, here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce,' the man said. The loan officer promptly had the car driven into the bank's underground parking garage for safe keeping, and gave him $5,000. Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank's doors, asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. 'That will be $5,000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest,' the loan officer said. The man wrote out a check and started to walk away. 'Wait sir,' the loan officer said, 'while you were gone, I found out you are a multi-millionaire. Why in the world would you need to borrow $5,000?' The man smiled. 'Where else could I park my Rolls-Royce safely in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $15.40?'
