Smart Parking Strategy

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.

She says she’s going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says they will need some security for the loan, so she hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce parked on the street. Everything checks out, and the bank accepts the car as collateral. The employee drives the Rolls into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the blonde returns and repays the $5,000 plus $15.41 in interest. The loan officer says, “Miss, we are happy to have your business, but we are a little puzzled. We checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. Why would you bother to borrow $5,000?” The blonde replies, “Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?”
