Big City Audi Joke

["R. Shayne Pavlic'" <bcpi@arias.net>]

A businessman walks into a bank in Boston and asks for the loan
officer.  He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks
and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security
for such a loan. So the businessman hands over the keys to a
Audi A8 parked on the street in front of the bank.
Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as
collateral for the loan. An employee drives the A8 into
the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the businessman returns, repays the $5,000 and
the interest, which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have had your
business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we
are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and
found that you are a multimillionaire.  What puzzles us is, why
would you bother to borrow $5,000?" 

The businessman replied - "Where else in Boston can I park my car
for two weeks for 15 bucks?"
