A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller.
He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday."

Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and
asks his name.

The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger,
his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank
manager.

Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some
collateral.

The frog says, "Sure. I have
this," and produces a tiny porcelain
elephant. It's about an inch tall,
bright pink, and perfectly
formed.

Very confused, Patty explains that
she'll have to consult with
the bank manager and disappears into a back
office.

She finds the manager and tells him,
"There's a frog called
Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you
and wants to borrow
$30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." She
holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is
this?"







The bank manager looks back at her and
says...
"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack.
Give the frog a loan. His old
man's a Rolling Stone."
(You're singing it, aren't you)
