The manager replies, "Start a large one and wait six months."
2. A frog walks into a bank and asks the teller, “Who do I talk to about getting a loan?”
The teller shows him to the office of the loan manager, Patricia Black.
"I would like a loan for $20.00 to buy a new lily pad,” the frog tells her.
”Do you have any collateral?” asks Ms. Black.
The frog produces a small statuette of a pink elephant with the inscription “Souvenir of Thailand” engraved on the base.
Unsure whether or not the object is worth the amount of the loan, she summons the bank manager.
The manager inspects the trinket, nods his head, and says, “It’s a knick-knack, Patty Black – give the frog a loan.

4. A client bought a new home and the broker wanted to send flowers for the occasion.
They arrived at the home and the owner read the card; it said “Rest in Peace”.
The owner was angry and called the florist to complain.
After he told the florist of the obvious mistake and described how angry he was, the florist said, “Sir, I’m really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry you should imagine this: Somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, “Congratulations on your new home”.
