Saw this photo of you in your car and it reminded me of a SMART blonde joke... Laura Slesinger walked into a bank in Manhattan and asked for the loan officer. She told the loan officer that she was going to Israel on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that she was not a depositor of the bank. The bank officer told her that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so she handed over the keys to a new BMW. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. She produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest. Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the dumb blonde, for using a $145,000 BMW as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the car into the bank's underground garage and parked it. Two weeks later, the lady returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, 'Madam, 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 THE Dr.Laura and are flush with cash. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?' Dr. Laura replied, 'Where else in Manhattan, can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07?'
