A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that the teller’s name is Patricia Whack. So he says, “Ms. Whack, I’d like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation.”<\/p>\n
Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow.<\/p>\n
The frog says $30,000.<\/p>\n
The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it’s OK, he knows the bank manager.<\/p>\n
Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.<\/p>\n
The frog says, “Sure. I have this,” and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. Bright pink and perfectly formed.<\/p>\n
Very confused, Patti explains that she’ll have to consult with the Manager and disappears into a back office.<\/p>\n
She finds the manager and says, “There’s a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral.” She holds up the tiny pink elephant. “I mean, what the heck is this?”<\/p>\n
The bank manager looks back at her and says, “It’s a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
