A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from
 her nameplate that the teller's  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."

 Patti 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 that his name is Kermit
 Jagger,his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's OK, he knows the bank manager.

 Patti explains that $30,000  is a substantial amount of money and
 that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan.

 She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.  The frog
 says, "Sure. have this,"  and produces a tiny pink porcelain  elephant, about
 half an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.

 Very confused, Patti 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 called 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?"

 The bank manager looks back at her and says:


 "It's a knick knack, Patti Whack.  Give the frog a loan.  His
 oldman's a Rolling Stone".
