Travel Expenses

A businessman walked into a New York City bank and asked for the loan of $5,000 for his 2-week trip to europe.
The loan officer said the bank would need some security for such a loan. The business man then handed over the keys to a Rolls Royce that was parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checked out and the loan officer accepted the car as collateral for the loan.
Two weeks later the businessman returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest which came to $15.41. The loan officer said, ""We do appreciate your business and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a bit puzzled. While you were away we checked and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000?"
The business man replied: ""Where else in New York City can I park my car for 2 weeks for 15 bucks?"
