Parking Fee
停車費
An Indian walks into a New York City bank and asks to see the loan officer. He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
一個印度人走進紐約城市銀行要見貸款客戶服務經理。他說他要去歐洲出差兩個星期，因此要借貸5000美元。
The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan, so the man hand over the keys of a new Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank.
客服經理說銀行規定這樣的借貸需要有擔保，于是這人遞上停在銀行外街邊的一輛勞斯萊斯新車的鑰匙。
Everything is checked out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
里里外外檢查了一遍之后，銀行同意用他的車作擔保。
An employee drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
一個職員把這輛勞斯萊斯開進了銀行的地庫存放。
Two weeks later, the man returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.
兩個星期后，印度人回來了，還清了5000美元和15.41美元的利息。
The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"
貸款客服經理說：“我們銀行很高興能有你做主顧，我們之間的這筆業務已經圓滿完成了。只是我們還有一點兒困惑。你不在的這段時間里，我們核實了你的情況，發現你是個千萬富翁。讓我們不能理解的是你為什么要來借區區5000美元？”
The Indian replied, "Where else in New York can I park my car for two weeks for 15 bucks?"
印度人答道：“紐約還有什么地方能讓我只花15美元就把我這輛車存兩個星期呢？”
