A frog goes into the bank and approaches the teller. Her name plate states that she is “Patty Whack.”

The frog says, “Miss Whack, I’d like to get a $25,000 loan to take a vacation.”

Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog replies that his name is Kermit Jagger and that his dad is Mick Jagger.

He tells Patty that it’s OK, and that he knows the bank manager.

Patty tells the frog he’ll have to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog agrees and pulls out a tiny ceramic elephant, about 2-inch tall and bright pink.

Patty says she’ll have to consult with the bank manager and she disappears into a back office.

She tells the manager, “There’s a frog called Kermit Jagger who claims to know you and he wants to borrow $25,000 and secure the loan with this.”

She produces the ceramic elephant and says, “What in the world is this?”

The bank manager smiles and says, “It’s a knick-knack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone.”
