The Frog

One day a frog walked into a bank and walked up to the counter. The teller looked down at him and said, "Hello, my name is Pattie Wakk. Can I help you?"

"Yes", said the frog,  "I'd like to apply for a loan."

"For how much?" asked Patty.

"$30,000", said the frog.

The teller told the frog they would have to fill out some papers. "What is your name?", she asked.

"Kermit Jagger"

"Address?"  Patty continued filling out the papers. When she came to the end she told the frog, "You'll need to sign here, and since you don't have an account with us, we'll need some collateral."

With that, the frog reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, pink, glass elephant and handed it to the teller.

"This is your collateral?" she asked in amazement. "What is it?"

"Just take it into your supervisor. He knows me. He'll know what it is",   replied Kermit.

So Patty took the elephant and the papers in to her supervisor. She explained how this talking frog had come in, asked for a loan, and then gave her a pink elephant for collateral. "And then", she exclaimed, "he told me to show it to you and said you would know what is was."

To which he replied, "It's a knick-knack, Patty Wakk, give the frog a loan. His old man is a Rolling Stone."

Dumb Blonde?

A lawyer and a blonde woman are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde is tired and just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists, saying that the game is really easy and a lot of fun.

He explains how the game works: "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me, and visa-versa."

Again, she politely declines and tries to get some sleep.

The chauvinistic lawyer figures that since his opponent is a blonde he will easily win the match, so he makes another offer:

"Okay, how about this "If you don't know the answer you pay me only $5, but if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $50."

This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, she agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"

The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"

The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. He taps into the Airphone with his modem and searches the Net and even the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his co-workers and friends he knows. All to no avail.

After over an hour, of searching for the answer he finally gives up. He wakes the blonde and hands her $50.

The blonde politely takes the $50 and turns away to get back to sleep.

The lawyer, who is more than a little frustrated, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, so what IS the answer?"

Again without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.
