A man in a frog costume walked into a bank and told the teller, Patricia Whack, that he needed to take out a loan for $50,000. He explained,
“My name is Kermit Jagger, my father is Mick Jagger, and I know your manager Mr Jones very well; I’m sure he would approve the loan.”
Patricia replied,
“I’m sorry, Mr Jagger, but with an amount that high, we require some sort of collateral.”
The man reached in his pocket and pulled out a small porcelain elephant and handed it to her.
She said she would have to get approval from her manager, and excused herself.
She told the manager,
“Mr Jones, there’s a man dressed as a frog in the bank who says he’s Mick Jagger’s son and wants to take out a $50,000 loan. He gave me this as collateral. I mean, really, what is this?”
Mr Jones replied:
“It’s a knickknack, Patty Whack, give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone!”
