The Loan...

[Jemisa]

A businessman walked into The Bank of England - London, and asked for the loan Manager. He said he was going to Europe on business for two weeks and needed to borrow £5,000. The loan manager said the bank would need some security for such a loan.

The business man then handed over the keys to a Rolls Royce that was parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checked out and the loan manager accepted the car as collateral for the loan. An employee then drove the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parked it there.

Two weeks later the businessman returned, repaid the £5,000 and the interest which came to £15.41.

The loan manager said, "We do appreciate your business and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a bit puzzled. While you were away we checked and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow £5,000?"

The business man replied: "Where else in The City of London can I park my car for two weeks for fifteen quid?"
