[BITList] Bank Loan to a Scottish Millionaire !WHAT A CLEVER MAN!!!

[Malcolm]

This is obviously not an Irishman.

 

>           A Scotsman walks into the Bank of England in Threadneedle

> Street, Central London and asks for the manager. He tells the manager that
he

> is going to Australia on business for two weeks and needs to borrow
£5,000.

> 

>            The manager tells him that the bank will need some form of
security for 

> the loan, so Hamish hands over the keys and documents of a new Ferrari 

> parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the Log Book and

> everything checks out. The manager agrees to accept the car as collateral

> for the loan.

> 

>            The bank's General Manager and its officers all enjoy a good

> laugh at the rough looking Scotsman for using a £120,000 Ferrari as

> collateral against a £5000 loan.  An employee of the bank then drives 

> the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

> 

>            Two weeks later, Hamish returns, repays the £5,000 and the

> interest, which comes to £15.41.

> 

>            The manager 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"?

> 

>            Hamish replies: "Where else in London 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 Scotsman.
