A man entered a bank in Liverpool and approached a window with the nameplate Patrick O'Connor.

"Good morning. My name is Ali-Abu Jagger and I wish to borrow a million pounds."

"Well, sor, we would need to have some pretty good security for a sum like that."

The man took a pin from his cravat.

"Those are all real diamonds. I think this should provide sufficient collateral.'

"Excuse me, sor; I must just consult the manager."...

"There's a man outside called Ali-Abu Jagger," said Mr O'Connor, "and he says he wants to borrow a million on no security but this knick-knack."

The manager, a local man, examined the diamond pin carefully with a jeweller's lens.

"Why ~~ that's no knick-knack, Paddy wack! Give the wog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
