A Nepali man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan
officer. He tells the loan officer that he is
going to Nepal on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security
for the loan, so the Nepali man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari
parked on the street in front of the bank. he produces the title and
everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as
collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Nepali
for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An
employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground
garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the Nepali 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 multi-millionaire.
What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000'" The Nepali
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 mind of the Nepali
Cheers
