Apparently, this is a true story .... A businessman walked into a London bank and asked for the loan
officer. He said he was going to Europe on business for two weeks and needed to
borrow £5,000. The loan officer said the bank would need some security for such
a loan.
The business man then handed over the keys to his Audi Q5 that was
parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checked out and the loan
officer accepted the Audi Q5 as collateral for the loan. An employee then drove
the Audi Q5 into the bank’s underground garage and parked it there.
The Loan Officer thought the business man was a numpty for leaving
a great car like this in exchange for a £5,000 loan.
Two weeks later the businessman returned, repaid the £5,000 and
the interest which came to £15.41.
The loan officer said, “We do appreciate your business and this
transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a bit puzzled. While you
were away we checked and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us
is why you would bother to borrow £5,000?”
The business man replied: “Where else in London can I park my car
for two weeks for fifteen pounds?”
