Issy walks into a New York bank and says he’s going to Japan for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. For collateral, he offers his new Rolls Royce. The bank is satisfied and parks the car in their secured underground garage. Two weeks later to the day, Issy returns to the bank and repays the $5,000 plus interest of $9.41.
The loan officer says inquiringly, “Sir, we were delighted to have your business but checking your credit, we learned you are a multimillionaire. Why ever did you need to borrow $5,000?”
“Where else in Manhattan could I park my car for two weeks for $9.41?”
