Thinking outside the box

It's funny, but doesn't ring true to me. He still had to pay someone to drive him from the bank to the airport. I would suspect that a multi-millionaire would live in an home or a building that had protected parking. He could have taken a taxi from his home to the airport, which shouldn't have been $15.41 more than the fare from the bank to the airport.

Seeing we're getting anal :rolleyes:, the bank would likely have also insisted on a minimum term a lot longer than two weeks, regardless of when the capital was paid back.

It was the "Told to me as a true story:" that invited the critique. :)

Good point, and he would also have had his own airplane too... would have had... never mind.

That 'twould depend on where his home was, wouldn't it? Assume that he was flying out a private jet from Teterboro and had driven in from his home in Montauk before the emergency came up that made him fly halfway round the world. ;)

Surely he keeps his private jet at HTO.

It was sent for him by the Indian corporation. The pilot went to Teterboro because the man was expected to be in his office on Wall Street. They'd also sent a helicopter for him that was to fly him from the top of the building next door to the bank to Teterboro. :-D

Ahh, but then how did the Ferrari get all the way to the bank in Teterboro? :~

The bank's not in Teeterboro. The bank's downtown. So is he. So is the car. So is the copter. Only the jet is in Teeterboro. I, on the other hand, am in Madison, watching the coeds of Drew enjoy the spring weather.
