An Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan
officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business
for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security
for the loan, so the Indian man hands over the keys of a new Ferrari
parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and
everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as
collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the
Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.


Two weeks later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest,
which comes to $15.41.The loan officer says, "Sir, 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 multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why
would you bother to borrow "$5,000"

The Indian replies: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for
two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return'"

Ah, the mind of the Indian.......
