A blonde walks into a bank in San Francisco and asks for the Loan Officer. After she sits down, she tells the Loan Officer that she is going to Europe on a business trip for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
The Loan Officer says the bank will need some sort of collateral for the loan. The woman asks if she could use her Mercedes SL500. The Loan Officer checks out the title and goes out front to look at the car, which is spotless. The banks agrees and he gives her the $5,000.
After the woman leaves, they all enjoy a good laugh at the woman for using her $100,000 car as collateral against a $5,000 loan. One of the tellers drives the car into the banks underground garage and parks it.
Two weeks later, the woman returns, repays the loan with interest, which comes to $15.41. The Loan Officer says, "Miss, we are very happy for you business, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we double checked your credit and found out that you are a millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000 from us?"
The woman replies, "Where else in San Francisco can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"
