A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from his

name plate that the teller's name is Paddy Whack. So he says, "Mr. Whack,

I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on holiday."



Paddy Whack looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to

borrow. The frog says £30,000. The teller asks his name and the frog says

his name is Kermit Jagger and that it's OK, he knows the bank manager.



Paddy explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he

would need to secure some collateral against the loan and asks if he has

anything he can use as collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and

produces a tiny pink elephant, about half an inch tall,

bright pink and perfectly formed.



Very confused, Paddy explains that he'll have to consult with the manager

and disappears into a back office. He finds the manager and says, "There's

a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to

borrow 30 grand. And he wants to use this as collateral." He holds up the

tiny pink elephant "I mean, what the fuck is this?"



The bank manager replies, "It's a knick knack, Paddy Whack. Give the frog

a loan, his old man's a Rolling Stone."
