A businessman walks into a bank in central London and asks for the fella who deals with loans. He says he is going to the States on business for two weeks and needs to borrow five grand.
The loans fella says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan. So the businessman hands over the keys to a Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the motor as security for the loan. An employee drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground car park and parks it there.
Two weeks later the businessman returns, repays the five grand and the interest, which comes to just over twenty quid. The loan officer says, “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. Why would you bother to borrow five grand?”
The businessman replies, “Where else in central London can I park my car for two weeks for £20?”
