from her nameplate that the teller’s name is Patricia Whack.
So, he says, “Mrs Whack I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat
and go on a long vacation”. Patti looks at the frog in disbelief
and asks how much he wants to borrow . The frog says
£30,000. Then she asks his name, and the frog says: that
his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger and that it
is okay, he knows the bank manager. Patti explains that
£30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that she will
need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if
he has anything that he can use as collateral.
The frog smiles and says,” Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny pink
porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall: Bright pink and
perfectly formed. Very confused, Patti explains that she
has to consult with the manager and disappears into the back office.
She finds the manager and says: "There is 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 the fuck is
this?"
wait for it!
The bank manager looks back at her and says. “It’s a knick
knack: Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan his old man's a
rolling stone!"
