An FX Trader and his Veron.

// August 15th, 2009 // Finance, Thoughts, cars

Below is a classic joke that appears in many versions.
An FX trader walks into a bank in Manhattan and asks for the loan officer. He explains that he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $2,000.

The bank officer says, “We will need some kind of security for such a loan.”

The trader hands over the keys to a new Bugatti Veron parked in front of the bank. The Bank does a registration check with NYDMV. Everything checks out. The Officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Veron into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there.

While the trader is away the Bank realizes their client is a multimillionaire. So several weeks later when the chap returns, repays the $2,000 and the interest which comes to $5.41, the loan officer questions, “Why would you bother to borrow $2,000? You are very wealthy.”

The trader replies, “Parking. Where can you park in midtown Manhattan for two weeks for only five dollars plus change?”

Classic…..
