Here's what they say in their advertisement:
Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?
$5,000 Loan
Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce to a downtown New York City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of $5,000. The loan officer was quite taken aback, and requested collateral. "Well here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce", the man said. The loan officer promptly had the car driven into the bank's underground parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5,000. Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank's doors, and asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. The loan officer checked the records and told him, "That will be $5,000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest." The man wrote out a check, thanked the loan officer, and started to walk away. Just then the loan officer asks "Sir, I have been made aware that your net worth is in the billions, so if you don't mind me asking, why on earth would you need to borrow a mere $5,000?" The billionaire smiles and says, "Where else could I securely park my Rolls-Royce in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $15.40?"
