Parking rates

A Person walks into a New York City bank and asks to see the loan officer. He
says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan,
so the man hands over the keys of a new Rolls Royce parked on the street in
front of the bank.

Everything is checked out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral
for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage
and parks it there. Two weeks later, the man returns, repays the $5,000 and the
interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have had your business, and this
transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are little puzzled. While you
were away, we checked you out and found that u are a multimillionaire. What
puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The Person replied," Where else in New York can I park my car for two weeks for
15 bucks?"
