Playing by the Banker's Rules
A Militiaman plays by the Banker’s Rules
A Freeman walked into a New York City bank and asked for the loan officer. He said he was going to Europe to purchase gear for his defenders of liberty and hoped to find a second source of reloading supplies and firearm cleaning kits … he’d be gone for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.
The loan officer said the bank would need some security for such a loan.
The business man then handed over the keys to his pre-Chinese armor plated GM-Humvee, that was parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checked out and the loan officer accepted his vehicle as collateral for the loan. An employee then drove the customized Hummer into the bank's underground garage and parked it there.
Two weeks later the businessman returned. He went to the bank and repaid the $5,000 and the interest which came to $15.41.
The loan officer said, "We really do appreciate your business sir … this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a bit puzzled.
While you were away we checked and found that you have been stockpiling gold and silver and have a multimillion dollar bullion account.
What puzzles us is why you would ever need to borrow $5,000?"
The Freeman militiaman replied: "Where else in New York City could I possibly park and hide my commander’s vehicle for two weeks and it cost me nothing … only fifteen dollars of your worthless paper money?"
