A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from his
name plate that the teller's name is Paddy Whack. So he says, "Mr.
Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on holiday."

Paddy Whack looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants
to borrow. The frog says £30,000. The teller asks his name and the
frog says his name is Kermit Jagger and that it's OK, he knows the
bank manager.

Paddy explains that £30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that
he would need to secure some collateral against the loan and asks if
he has anything he can use as collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have
this," and produces a tiny pink elephant, about half an inch tall,
bright pink and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Paddy explains that he'll have to consult with the
manager and disappears into a back office. He finds the manager and
says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to
know you and wants to borrow 30 grand. And he wants to use this as
collateral." He holds up the tiny pink elephant "I mean, what the heck
is this?"

The bank manager replies, "It's a knick knack, Paddy Whack, give the
frog a loan, his old man's a Rolling Stone."
