***************************************************
 $5000 Loan
 -----------------
 Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce to a
 downtown NY City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of
 $5,000. The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral. "Well,
 then, here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce," the man said. The loan
 officer promptly had the car driven into the bank's under- ground
 parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5,000. Two weeks later, the
 man walked through the bank's doors, asked to settle up his loan and
 get his car back.  "That will be $5,000 in principal, and $15.40 in
 interest," the loan officer said. The man wrote out a  cheque 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 $5,000?" The man smiled.  "Where else could I park
 my Rolls-Royce in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $15.40?"
