A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller.
He can see from her name plate that the teller's name is Patricia Wax.
So he says, "Ms. Wax, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on
holiday."
Patty Wax looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to
borrow. The frog says $30,000. The teller asks his name and the frog
says his name is Kermit Jagger and that it's ok, he knows the bank
manager.
Patty explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that
she would need to secure some collateral against the loan, and asks if
he has anything he can use as collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I
have this," and produces a tiny pink elephant, about half an inch
tall. Bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the
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 grand. And he wants to use this as
collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what the
hell is this?"
The bank manager replies, "It's a knick knack, Patty Wax. Give the
frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
