A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller.
He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patty Whack.
“Miss Whack, I’d like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday.”
Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog
says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that
it’s okay, he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some
collateral.
The frog says, “Sure. I have this,” and produces a tiny porcelain
elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she’ll have to consult with the
bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says,
“There’s a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know
you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as
collateral.”
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. “I mean, what in the world is
this?”
(You’re gonna love this.)
The bank manager looks back at her and says,
“It’s a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man’s
a Rolling Stone.”
(You sang it, didn’t you? Yeah, I know you did.)

Old one!
I was telling that one in the early ‘70s.
