A Xhosa man walks into a Johannesburg bank and asks to see the loan officer. He says he is going to India on holiday for two weeks and wants to borrow R10. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan, so the man handed over the keys of his new BMW M3 parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything is checked out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the BMW into the banks underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the man returns, repays the R10 and the interest, which comes to R15,41. 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 you would bother to borrow R10? The Xhosa man replied, Where else in Johannesburg can I park my car safely for two weeks and pay only R15.41? Xhosas will always be Xhosas... Forward to as many Xhosas you know. Thumbs up 4 the Xhosa
