Let’s Talk About Loans

I have a great read for you this afternoon.  Really I do.  Something I heard and just simply can’t resist sharing.

I know it may be weak but after you read it you have to admit it is kind of funny .

A frog goes into the bank and approaches the teller.  He can see from her name plate that her name is Patty Whack.  “Miss Whack, I’d like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday.”  

Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name.  The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger and that it’s okay, he knows the bank manager.  

Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.  The frog says, “Sure, I have this,” and produces a tiny porcelain elephant about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.  

Very confused, Patty explains that she’ll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.  She finds the manager and says, “There’s a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who says his dad is Mick Jagger, who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000 AND he wants to use this as collateral.”  She then holds up the tiny pink elephant.  “I mean what the heck is this?”  

The bank manager looks backs at her and says without missing a beat, “It’s a knickknack Patty Whack.  Give the frog a loan.  His old man’s a rolling stone.”

(I won’t tell anyone that you’re singing that last line – snorts and rolls with piggy laughter!)

This is a great picture of Jean standing outside of our hotel rooms.  We were far enough up that we could enjoy the hustle below and right across the street from awesome restaurants and businesses.  And if you look in the distant, there is the beautiful Atlantic Ocean.  All of this within walking distance from our hotel room which was totally nice.

Yet, we were far enough away that you didn’t hear any of the noises at night coming from the bars.  It was really the best spot to be at night when we came back to our rooms from being out all day getting into trouble having fun.

And no trip to Tybee Island, Georgia can be complete without visiting the Tybee Island lighthouse.  Look how beautiful that lighthouse is – do you want to guess how many steps it is to get to the observation point at the very top?  Would you believe 178 steps and no trust me no of us took this adventure.  Me and my hub Jim did this walk up one time and that’s all we needed – LOL – neither one of us could walk that night.  I think it’s safe to say that we now know our limitations.

On this day we decided to take a trip to downtown Savannah.  And let’s just say that there is no telling who you might run into in the city.  Take for instance when we drove past the restaurant called the Pirate House.  Who do you think we saw.  Of course a pirate.   Who were you thinking?  LOL.

This pirate was really friendly though.  We were on a tour bus and he jumped on the tour bus spilling his pirate talk.  He was really quite comical which I’m sure he wasn’t really shooting for… I think.  So you see, you just never know who you will run into in Savannah.

And again, you never know who one will start chatting up as in this case with Jean.  Again, what an awesome trip with some of the greatest friends.  We hope that you have enjoyed our Travels in the South with Bill and Jean.  Be on the lookout for the next series of Travels in the South with Bev and Phil from Australia!
