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 to 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 porcelain 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's 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 collateral."

She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"

(you're gonna love this)

(its a real treat)

(a masterpiece)

(wait for it)

The bank manager looks back at her and says...

"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a

Rolling Stone."

(You're singing it, aren't you? Yeah, I know you are........)

Never take life too seriously! Come on now, you grinned, I know you did!!!

Have a Lovely Day

That was actually quite clever.

It made me grin, I have to admit, I don't know if I could deliver it well though, its one of those better-as-text type jokes.

"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a
Rolling Stone."

it's a play on the words of an old old nursery rhyme song.

it reminded me of that guy that said his car goes faster since he wrapped baby ducks up in slinkys, and put one on each wheel. he calls it the 'four sprung ducks technique'. :rolleyes:

"nick nack, patty wack, give the dog a bone. This old man came rolling home."

thats the refrain, cant remember the rest of the song

Actually, if you have kids now days, you got to sing that melody with "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family, with a big ole hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you tell me I love you"

Crapceeper, it's a childs song that helps to teach counting. it might have different german words to make it rhyme better, but the tune would probably stay the same.
