Ah, ThE InDiAn MinD...!!!

An Indian man walks into a bank in New
York City and asks for the loan
officer. He tells the loan officer
that he is going to India on business
for two weeks and needs to borrow
$5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the
bank will need some form of security
for the loan, so the Indian man hands
over the keys to a new Ferrari
parked on the street in front of the
bank. He produces the title and
everything checks out. The loan
officer agrees to accept the car as
collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers
all enjoy a good laugh at the
Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as
collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drives
the Ferrari into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Indian returns,
repays the $5,000 and the interest,
which comes to $15.41.The loan officer
says, "Sir, we are very happy to
have had your business, and this
transaction has worked out very
nicely,
but we are a little puzzled. While you
were away, we checked you out and
found that you are a multi
millionaire. What puzzles us is, why
would
you bother to borrow "$5,000"

The Indian replies: "Where else in New
York City can I park my car for
two weeks for only $15.41 and expect
it to be there when I return'"

Ah, the mind of the Indian...
