Item 12: Frog with Elephant seeks bank loan

Down at the bank, loan officer Patricia Wack was sitting at her desk in the lobby when a frog came up and said to her, "Ms. Wack ... my name is Kermit and I want to get a loan." She was very surprised to meet a talking frog. Nevertheless, she tried to be courteous and professional. She asked, "How much do you want to borrow Mr. Kermit ?" "It's Mr. Jagger Ms. Wack. Kermit is my first name. I need $30,000."

"My, my", she said. "That's a lot of money. What will you do with it ?" "I'm planning a long vacation", said the frog. "I see" , said Ms. Wack. "And do you have any collateral to secure this loan?" "Yes indeed" , he said. "I have this splendid pink plastic elephant." She examined the small figure and shook her head. "I really don't think this will be sufficient collateral for so much money Mr. Kerm... I mean Jagger." The frog said, "Listen. Your Vice-President is a friend o my father. Show it to him and tell him who I am. I'm sure he'll approve my loan." Doubtful, but unwilling to offend a customer, she went to see the Vice-President in charge of loans. When she burst into his office she interrupted a meeting he was having with the bank's President. "Oh! I am very sorry" , she said. But the Vice-President insisted she go ahead and explain what she wanted so she told him about a talking frog named Kermit Jagger wanting a loan of $30,000 and offering a pink plastic toy elephant for collateral. The Vice-President and the President looked at each other and shook their heads up and down. He asked to see the elephant she was holding. "Okay." he said. "Make the loan." She was stunned. "With this for collateral ? What on earth is it ?" The Vice-President and the President sang out the answer in unison, "It's a knick-knack Patty Wack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
