Loan from Bank

A woman walks into a bank in New York  City and asks for the loan officer. She says she's going to Europe on  business for three weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says  the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands  over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked on the street  in front of the bank, she 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 woman 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. Three weeks later, the woman returns, repays the  $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $18.41. The loan officer says,  "Miss, 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 are a  multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow  $5,000?" The woman replies, "Where else in New York City can I park  my car for three weeks for only $18.41 and expect it to be there when I  return?"
