英文笑话:Phua Chu Kang
Phua Chu Kang walked into a bank at World Trade Centre and asked for the loan officer. He said he was going to Batam (an island near Singapore) on business for two days and needed to borrow $5,000.
The loan officer said the bank would need some security for such loan. Ah Kang then handed over the keys to his Mercedes 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.
An employee then drove the Mercedes into the bank's underground garage and parked it there. Two days later Ah Kang 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 very rich contractor. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000?"
Ah Kang replied: "Aiyah, where else in Singapore can I park my car for 2 days for 15 dollars?"
