Been meaning to do a blog recording some of the best and worst jokes I've heard, read, or made up. Since SteemIt debuted in Leap Year, I'll start with the frog joke.
Okay, so a frog walks into a...bank.
He inquires about borrowing some money. A woman in a business suit walks up and says she doesn't think they can lend any to frogs. The frog protests that he knows the manager and should be entitled to apply.
She shrugs and shows the frog into her loan office. He reads her name off a desk placard: Patricia Black. Their conversation goes roughly as follows.
PATRICIA BLACK: Well, do you have any collateral?
FROG: Sure.
(he produces a small crystal ornament and places it on her desk)
PB: Well, this is very nice but it's not worth the amount you're talking about. What about a co-signer.
FROG: Oh, my Dad will co-sign for me.
PB: I really don't think frogs have credit histories...
FROG: Oh, I'm talking about my Godfather. He's human. He's been there for me all my life, since my real parents died, and he's my legal guardian.
PB: Alright. What's your Godfather's name?
FROG: Mick Jagger.
She doesn't believe it, at first, but the frog convinces her that, yes, it's that Mick Jagger and the Bank Manager will confirm it. Dubious, she tells him to wait while she takes the application to the manager's office. She explains the whole thing and shows him the crystal ornament, not knowing what it is.
Bank Manager: Don't know what it is?
It's a knickknack, Patty Black!
Give the frog the loan!
His old man's a Rolling Stone!
:-D
