> Is that anything like a shop vac? No, it's clearly a financial instrument.
A friend of mine is a bank loan officer. One day, a frog came into his bank looking for a loan of $347.42. He asked why a frog needed a loan -- somewhat of a human chauvinista, he is. The frog responded that he was shopping for a vacuum cleaner; he's trying to clean up his image. My friend immediately turns to the teller sitting at the computer terminal nearby and says... "Tell the Univac he's shopping for a vac. Give the frog the loan!" (all right, this is getting really silly now. Back to work...8-))
