Why Italians Are So Smart

[HAZE]

An Italian walks into a bank in New York City

and asks for the loan officer. He says he's going to

Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the Italian hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce.

The car is parked on the street in front of the

bank, he has the title and everything checks out.

The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The

bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh

at the Italian for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a

$5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive

the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and

parks it there. Two weeks later, the Italian returns, repays

the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, " Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has

worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000? "

The Italian 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? "

Ah, The Italians
