My entry for "Worst joke of year" A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from his name plate that the teller's name is Patrick Whack. So he says, "Mr Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on holiday". Patrick Whack looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow. The frog says 30,000 pounds. The teller asks his name and the frog says his name is Kermit Jagger and that it's ok, he knows the bank manager. Paddy explains that 30,000 pounds is a substantial amount of money and that he would need to secure some collateral against the loan and asks if he has anything he can use as collateral. The frog says "Sure. I have this" and produces a tiny pink elephant, about half an inch tall. Bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patrick explains that he'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office. He finds the manager and says "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow 30 grand. And he wants to use this as collateral" He holds up the tiny pink elephant "I mean, what on earth is this?" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The bank manager replies "It's a knick knack, Paddy Whack. Give the frog a loan, his old man's a Rolling Stone."
