This is an old one but still worth a read.
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her
nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan and take a holiday"
Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his
name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows
the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I have this", and produces a tiny procelain elephant,
about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank
manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says, "There is a frog called Kermit Jagger out
there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to
use this as a collateral".
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this"?

The bank manager looks back at her and says...
It's a knicknack, Patty Wack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone".
