I borrowed money last week. I actually borrowed, secured against my own money. This seemed to "satisfy" the "computer God" which has taken all discretionary decisions away from the humans. The little girl (banker) informed me that she would need a current P&L statement, etc.. I couldn't help but think some of that money was deposited in my account before she was born. I simply said, "I don't think you need that. All you need to know is that the loan and terms are secured. I'm borrowing from myself. The choice is that I just withdraw what I need and close the accounts." Personal information? Maybe I should ask for fingerprints of those people at the bank where I deposit my earnings? _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
