A dog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from his nameplate that the teller is called Patrick Whack.
"Mr Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday."
Paddy looks at the dog in disbelief and asks his name.
The dog says his name is Rover Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.
Paddy explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The dog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Paddy explains that he'll have to consult with the bank manager and he disappears into a back office.
He finds the manager and says, "There's a dog called Rover Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."
He then holds up the tiny pink elephant and says to the manager. "I mean, what in the world is this?
The bank manager looks back at him and says, "It's a knickknack, Paddy Whack. Give the dog the loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
