frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nametag that she is called Patricia Whack.

"Ms. Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan so that I can take a long holiday," he says.

Patty looks at the frog in disbelief, and asks for his name.

The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, and that his Dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay. And his father knows the bank manager.

Patty explains that to secure a loan for so much cash, he'll need to have some collateral.

The frog says, "Sure, I have this" and produces a small porcelain elephant, about an inch high, bright pink, and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patty says she'll have to consult with the bank manager, and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and tells him "There's a frog out there who says his dad is Mick Jagger, he wants a $30,000 loan and that it's okay, that you know his father." She holds up the pink elephant and says, "I mean, what in the world is this?"

The manager looks at her nonchalantly and says...

"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack, give the frog a loan, his old man's a Rolling Stone!"
