A guy walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5000.

The bank officers says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan, so the guy hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce, parked on the street, in front of the bank.

Everything checks 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 guy returns and repays the $5000, and the interest, which is $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 a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5000?"

The guy replied, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for 2 weeks for $15.00?"

There once was a captain of a ship, and everyday at a certain time he would lock himself up in his cabin and look inside a mysterious black box. He did this everyday, but he told nobody what was inside the box. Then one day he died, and in his testament he gave the crew permission to open the box. So they opened the black box. And what they found was a piece of paper:
''Starboard is right, port is left.''

The optometrist was telling another customer that a 90-year-old friend of his was getting remarried.
"Really," said the customer. "Is his future wife pretty?"
"Not really," said the optometrist.
"Can she cook?"
"Well, no."
"What's her personality like?"
"She's kind of cold."
"So why is he marrying her?"
"Because she can drive at night."

Some sports team names inspire fear, like the Detroit Tigers. Others inspire head scratching, like the Chicago White Sox--their socks are white, so what? Suggested names for future teams around the globe:

Taiwan: The Taipei Personalities
India: The Delhi Contestants
Bolivia: The Bolivia de Havillands

I'd Like A Coke Please
I've always ordered beverages one simple way: "A Coke, please."

Lately, though, this hasn't seemed to work. Waitresses now often respond, "I'm sorry, we don't have Coke. We have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mr. Pibb."

Tired of listening to the long list of soft drinks, I thought I'd make life easier. So one day I simply asked the snack bar clerk at a movie theater for a "dark, carbonated beverage."

The young man behind the counter chuckled and asked, "Sir, would you like a cylindrical plastic sucking device with that?"

--------------------

Lawyers are leaving their mark everywhere. Today at the aquarium there was a sign that said "Alleged Killer Whale".

--------------------

Two dogs were out for a walk. One dog says to the other, "Wait here a minute. I'll be right back." He walks across the street and sniffs a fire hydrant for about a minute, then rejoins his friend.
"What was that all about?" the other dog asks.
"Just checking my messages."

--------------------

After driving all night a man pulled over to the side of the road to get some rest. Before long there was a rap on the window and a jogger standing there.

"Pardon me," said the jogger,"but do you have the correct time?"

"Six A.M." the man replied groggily, and then went back to sleep.

A few minutes later another jogger tapped on the window.

"Hate to bother you, but od you have the time?"

"Five after six," the man growled angrily, scaring the second jogger off. Deciding to put an end to the disturbances, the man made a sign saying, "I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME" and hung it on the window.

Soon, awakened by yet another tapping on the window, the man rolled down the window and saw a third jogger.

"I saw your sign," said the jogger, cheerfully pointing to his watch. "It's half past six!"

Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers. Unfortunately, all the league records were destroyed in a fire. Thus we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.

--------------------

His wife was in labor with their first child. Things were going pretty well when suddenly she shouted, "Shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't, didn't, can't!"
"Doctor", what's wrong with my wife?" he asked.
"She's having contractions, silly."

--------------------

It was a really hot day. The drunk decided that maybe he should lay off the alcohol, so he went to a vending machine to buy a soda. He put some change in and a can came out. The drunk popped a few more coins into the slot and another can rolled down. Excited, he continued to feed the machine.
Pretty soon, a line formed behind him. Finally, a woman yelled, "Hurry Up! We're all hot and thirsty."
"No way," he said. "I'm still winning."

--------------------

In China, KFC's slogan, "Finger Lickin' Good," translates into a less than appetizing, "Eat your fingers off."

The Scandinavian electronics company Electrolux tried to sell its vacuum cleaner here in the United States by telling Americans, "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux."

Then there's Chevrolet trying to sell their Novas in Mexico.
In Spanish "Nova" means something like "It don't go".

Re "Really?"

I kind of doubt it, myself, but I haven't actually researched the question. :D
