"Is This Seat Taken?"
When the usher noticed a man stretched across
three seats in the theater, he walked over and
whispered, "Sorry, sir, but you are allowed only
one seat. "
The man moaned but didn't budge.
"Sir, If you don't move, I'll have to call the manager,"
said the usher more loudly. The man moaned
again but stayed where he was.
The usher left and returned with the manager, who,
after several attempts at dislodging the fellow,
called the police.
The cop looked at the reclining man and said,
"All right, what's your name, joker?"
"Joe," he mumbled.
"And where are you from, Joe?"
"The balcony."

"A Lesson in High Finance"
A businessman walks into a bank in New York City
and asks for the loan officer. He says he is going
to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to
borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will
need some kind of security for such a loan. So the
businessman hands over the keys to a Rolls Royce
parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything
checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car
as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the
Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks
it there.
Two weeks later, the businessman returns, repays
the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have
had your business, and this transaction has worked
out very, nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you
were away, we checked you out and found that you
are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would
you bother to borrow $5,000?"
The businessman replied, "Where else in New York
can I park my car for two weeks for 15 bucks?"
(P. S. I spent more than $15 to park my car in the
Lincoln Center today! - LadyHawke)
