today's pun-ishment

(possibly the best/worst/longest pun ever - don't say i didn't warn you...)

A frog went into a bank, hopped up to the teller, and said that he wanted to apply for a $50,000 loan. The teller said "Go see Ms. Patricia Wack at the desk over there". So the frog went over to the desk and said "Ms. Wack, I need to apply for a $50,000 loan". Although somewhat surprised by this, she politely asked "What is your name?" "My name is Kermit Jagger. I'm the son of Mick Jagger, perhaps you've heard of him?" Unsure how to proceed, she said "Ummm, okaaay" and gave the frog the appropriate forms to fill out, hoping that would be the end of it. To her dismay, the frog quickly completed the paperwork and handed it back to her.

She looked the forms over and said "Well, everything seems to be in order here except for one thing: I need to know what sort of collateral you can put up". "Of course" said the frog, who reached inside his jacket and pulled out a cheap snow globe with the words "Greetings from Spokane" printed in gold letters on the front.

This completely flustered her, so she excused herself by saying "I'll have to clear this with the president of the bank", and headed for the corner office. She said to the president "I don't know what to do. There's a frog at my desk that says his name is Kermit Jagger. He's applying for a loan and presented this to me as collateral". She showed the snow globe to the bank president, who nodded knowingly and said "It’s a knickknack, Patty Wack. Give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone."
