Three American men are sitting on a beach in the Caribbean sipping their rum and they get to talking…
The first man, twirling a matchstick in his fingers, says pensively, “I used to own a matchstick factory back in California. But one day there was a fire and the entire factory was burned to the ground. I collected my insurance money and decided to retire here in the Caribbean.”
The second man says, “Oh, how odd! I used to own a jewellery store in Chicago. One night there was a break-in and I lost all my wares. So I collected my insurance and headed down here.”
The third man looks at the two of them and says, “You won’t believe it! I used to run a warehouse in Kansas. One day a tornado destroyed the entire business, so I collected my insurance and here I am!”
The first two men look at each other for a while. Finally one of them asks, “Just how do you make a tornado happen?”
Kermit the Frog went to the bank to request a loan.
The teller, Patty Whack, asked him for references.
“Well, my dad’s Mick Jagger,” Kermit replied.
Uncertain, Patty then asked him if he had any collatoral.
“Here’s something from my shelf”, he answered, handing her a small decoration.
Now confused, Patty told him she had to speak with her manager.
“Mr Jones,” she said, “I don’t know what to do. Kermit the Frog is asking for money, he says his dad is Mick Jagger, and his only collateral is this thing. I don’t even know what it is!”
The manager replies, “It’s a knick-knack, Patty Whack, give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone.”
Big windows to see better…
