I thought this was a very cute (albeit corny) play on words.  Happy
Un-Lurking Day, everyone!

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller.  He can see from her
nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.  So, he says, "Ms. Whack, I'd
like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation."

Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to
borrow.  The frog says $30,000.  The teller asks his name and the frog
says his name is Kermit Jagger and that it's okay, he knows the manager.

Patty explains that $30,000. is a substantial amount of money and that
he will need some collateral against the loan.  She asks if he has
anything he can use as collateral.  The frog says, "Sure, I have this,"
and produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall and
perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the
manager and disappears into a back office.  She finds the manager and
says, "There's a frog named Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know
you and wants to borrow $30,000.  He wants to use this as collateral."
She holds up the tiny pink elephant.  "I mean, what the heck is this?"




(Prepare yourself)


So the bank manager looks back at her and says, "It's a knickknack,
Patty Whack.  Give the frog a loan.  His old man's a Rolling Stone."
