The teller said "See Mr. Paddy Whack at the desk over there". So the frog went over to the desk and said "Mr. Paddy Whack, I'm here to apply for a $50,000 loan". Paddy Whack handed the frog some papers to fill out. A few minutes later, the frog handed the papers back to Mr. Paddy Whack, he looked them over and said "Everything seems to be in order here; however, I need to know what sort of collateral you can put up". "Of course" said the frog, who reached inside his froggy vest and pulled out a small ivory elephant. This confused Mr. Paddy Whack but he didn't want to appear ignorant, so he said "I'll have to clear this with the president of the bank. Excuse me." and headed for the president's office. "I have this frog at my desk applying for a loan", said Paddy Whack with a sneer, "and he presented this to me as collateral". He showed the elephant to the bank president, who replied "Oh, that's just fine." "Huh? What do you mean? Why's this good collateral?" The bank president replied: "It's a knicknack, Paddywhack, give the frog a loan!" Tue 3-Apr-1984 10:08 PST
