Unfiltered Story #197595

(This happened to a friend of my grandfather’s decades ago, so I don’t know all the details. He had a nervous breakdown and spent several years in a sanitarium. Years later, he decided to open a small business and applied for a loan. This is how my grandfather told me the conversation went:)

Him: “I’d like [large amount of money]. I’m planning to [describes business plan].”

Loan officer: “How much? You’re crazy!”

Him: “I am not! And I have the papers to prove it!” (pulls out release papers)

(He got the loan!)
