A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her name plate that her name is Patricia Whack. "Miss Whack, I'd like to geta $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."

Took a while to set up, but the punchline was worth it.
Posted by: PyeCat at May 9, 2004 06:04 PMThere you are wrong Pye. That was a terrible pun, a horrible shaggy dog story, and that being said, I laughed out loud because of it. Thinky should be hit upside the head for that joke, and if she heard it from someone else, she should hit them.

Posted by: PyeCat at May 12, 2004 04:17 AMI figured that if it made me LOL, it was worth posting. *wbeg*
(I snagged it from someone else, but now I don't remember who, so I can't go whap them upside the head. Sorry, SirB!)
