... and speaking of Patty, that brings to mind another story.
A frog walks into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is "Patricia Whack".
"Miss Whack, I'd like to borrow $3,000 to take a nice vacation."
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny ceramic elephant, about an inch tall. Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager. When she finds the bank manager, she says, "There's a frog out there who wants to borrow $3,000 and he wants to use this as collateral."
She holds up the tiny ceramic elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"
The bank manager looks back at her and says...
"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan."
