Respectfully submitted...
A frog walks into a bank, and sits at the desk of the loan officer, a Mister Archibald Paddywack.
"Good morning and welcome to First Savings Bank", says Mr. Paddywack. "How can I help you?"
"I would like to take out a small loan." replies the frog.
"Splendid. Do you have an account with us?"
"Umm, no."
"I see. Did you bring a paystub or other proof of employment?"
"Not really."
"Do you have anything that could be used as collateral for this loan, Mr. Frog?"
The Frog reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a thing. Just this thing. And puts it on the desk.
"Well, with no job and no bank account, I don't know if there is much we can do", explained Mr. Paddywack. "But I will take this to the branch manager and see what he says."
Mr. Paddywack excuses himself and goes into meet with the branch manager.
"Sir?"
"What is it, Archie?"
"I have this customer at my desk who would like to take out a loan. He doesn't have an account with us and he has no evidence of income. When I asked what he had for collateral, he handed me this." and placed the thing on his desk.
The bank manager picked up the thing, examined it closely for a moment, then declared, "Approved!"
"Sir?"
"The loan, Archie. It's approved."
"But I don't understand..."
"It's a knick-knack, Paddywack, give the frog a loan".

Almost perfect....
Allowing for regional differences, I learned that joke with the bank officer's name being Patty Black. That helps with the obfuscation. But still, that's one of the all-time best.
