Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce to the bourke street branch of the ANZ bank and went in to ask for immediate loan of $5,000. The loan officer was quite taken aback, and requested collateral . "Well then, here are the key to my Rolls-Royce", the man said. The man officer promptly had the car driven into the bank's underground parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5000.
Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank's doors and asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. The loan officer checked the record and told him, " That will be $5000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest." The man wrote out the cheque , thanked the loan officer, and started to walk away.
"Wait sir," the loan officer said, "while you were gone, I found out you are a millionaire . Why in the world would you need to borrow ?" the man smiled."Where else could I securely park my Rolls-Royce in Melbourne for two weeks and pay only $15.40 ? "
