I've heard "about as much use as a chocolate fireguard" before, so maybe this is a new one?

Looks more like a chocolate (assortment) box!

An elderly wealthy man walks into a bank New York City and asks for the loan officer.

He says he’s going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5000.

The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan,

so the elderly man hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce, which costs quarter of a million dollars.

“The car is parked on the street in front of the bank,” says the man,

“and I have all the necessary papers.”

The bank officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

After the old man leaves, the loan officer, the bank’s president and all their colleagues enjoy a good laugh at the man for using a $250,000 Rolls Royce as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

One of the employees drives the Rolls into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the elderly wealthy man man returns, repays the $5000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says,

“Sir, I must tell you, we’re all a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and discovered that you’re a multimillionaire. Why would you bother to borrow $5,000?”

The old man replies,

“Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41?”

[J.R.]

The person who created that joke misplaced the decimal point on the short term loan interest.

 

The punchline should read "Where else can I get a 5K short term loan for 7.82% APR!"

Dunno why Homer (Simpson, not the Greek poet) is so into this stuff. It's mediocre at best. 4.9% but tastes more like that Carling pish.
