A businessman walked into a New York City 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 a Rolls Royce that was parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checked out and the loan officer accepted the car as collateral for the loan. An employee then drove the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parked it there.
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 New York City can I park my car for two weeks for fifteen bucks?"

Only in NYC you could see British rocker Elton John walking down Sixth Avenue in the morning hour dressed with a piano keyboard decorated overcoat. Then cross the street and see a homeless bum with an empty bottle of thunderbird wine roll out of his hand. True story.

can you still shop at individual stores in unique neighborhoods, and not have to worry about the almighty "WALMART" closing all the local businesses and paving a huge unnecessary parking lot, and can be friendly to the environment by either walking or taking the subway which is electric and not have to worry about rising gas prices or car insurance, and only in this wonderful city can you find anything, ANYTHING at all you want to eat or buy or see, at any time day or night. I LOVE NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!1
