"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a £30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, as he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I havethis," and produces a tinyporcelain elephant,
about aninch tall, bright pink and
perfectly formed.
Somewhat confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consultwith the
bank manager anddisappears

She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you, he wants to borrow £30,000, and he wants to use this ascollateral."
She holds up the tiny pinkelephant.
"I mean, what inthe world is this?" The bank manager looks backat her
and says. "It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan, His old man's a Rolling Stone." (You're singing it, aren't you? Yeah, I know you are..) Never take life too seriously! Come on now, you grinned, I know you did.
