Travel Expenses
A businessman walked into a New York City bank and asked for the loan officer. He said he was going to Europe on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000. The loan officer said the bank would need some security for such a loan. The business man then handed over the keys to a Rolls Royce that was parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checked out and the loan officer accepted the car as collateral for the loan. An employee then drove the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parked it there. Two weeks later the businessman returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest which came to $15.41. The loan officer said, "We do appreciate your business and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a bit puzzled. While you were away we checked and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000?" The business man replied: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for 2 weeks for 15 bucks?"
旅行开支
一个商人走进纽约一家银行询问信贷员。他说他要出差去欧洲两个星期,需要借5000美元。信贷员说贷款银行需要提供担保。这位商人把一辆停在街上的劳斯莱斯钥匙移交给信贷员。一切手续办妥后，银行信贷员接受了汽车做为贷款的抵押。店员把汽车开到银行地下车库并停放在那里。两周后,商人回来了,偿还了5000美元贷款,支付了15.41美元的利息。信贷员说：“我们欣赏你的生意,这笔交易做的很好,但我们有点困惑。你不在的时候,我们检查发现你是个富翁。我们感到疑惑的是为什么你不怕麻烦只借5000美元?”这个商人回答:“在纽约的什么地方我能把车停了两周只付15块钱?”
