SZ; Question uno:

A businessman walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He says he is 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 such a loan. So the businessman hands over the keys to a Rolls-Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the businessman returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest , which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, 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 $5,000?

(Any ideas?)

I am going to guess that it was cheaper parking than anywhere else. he probably didn't even spend the loan money.

why would he care about money? He is a multi-millionaire! he probably wanted to have some pocket change for the hour and was lazy...and a very good liar. or he likes to mess with people by making no sense. or possibly wanted to make friends with people at the bank? maybe he was senile and was losing his mind. or he wanted to pay someone outside...possibly a hobo?

Challenger Red is right! The man wanted to find cheap parking!

I didn't read that until just now and I liked it. More.

yes, more. they are fun.

ok, what the hell? why are none of SZ'z recent posts displaying on my computer? the old ones are fine, everyone elses are fine, what the hell?
