Joke: Millionaire taking a loan

    A French man walked into a bank in New York City one day and asked for the loan officer.

    He told the loan officer that he was going to France on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.

    The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan.

    The French man handed over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produced the title and everything checked out.

    The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
    The bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the French man for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

    An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parked it there.

    Two weeks later, the French man returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest, which came to $15.41.

    The loan officer said, '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 French man replied: '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''

    This is actually not really funny but very sad because it's reality.

    All of the very rich people give nothing back to the poor and they cheat as much as they can, even worse, a lot don't even pay any taxes...

    IMHO it is a bit too much of a generalization to say that. Most rich people pay taxes. Doing what the joke says is nothing illegal, the bank earns the interest and the guy gets the security for his car. Both sides win, I don't see any cheating here.
