A Jew 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 security for the loan, so the Jew hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan and an employee drives it into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the Jew returns and repays the $5,000 plus 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 well, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you're a millionaire many times over. Why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"
The Jew replies, "Where else in New York can I park my car for two weeks for fifteen bucks?"
