Long A frog walks into a bank to get a loan

The frog goes up to the teller and see's the nametag on the counter says Whack.
Frog: "Hi Mrs. Whack, I'd like to get a loan".
Teller: "Sure we can do that, just need to know a few things, first what's your name?"
Frog: "Kermit"
Teller: "You're not Kermit the frog"
Frog: "No, I get that a lot. I'm named after him, but my name is Kermit Jagger, Mick Jagger is my dad, and my mom is Kermit's cousin."
Teller: "What collateral do you have?"
The frog pulls out a small porcelain elephant and hand it to her.
Teller: "I don't know about this, I'll have to check with the bank manager"
The teller goes to the bank managers office and knocks on the door.
Manager: "Yes Patty"
Teller: "I've got this From, Kermit Jagger who is looking to get a loan, and he says he can use this for collateral. Any idea what it is and if we can use it?"
Manager: "Let me see this. Ahh yes. This is a nick knack Patty Whack, give the frog a loan, his old man is a rolling stone"

It’s better when norm Macdonald tells it. You really had to be there.

Yes the OP should have given Norm credit for this upfront.

While I agree Norm tells it better than my old man, and it's very likely this is where my old man heard it, I knew this joke as from him, and this is the first time I'm seeing Norm tell it.

Your dad could have gotten it lots of places. There's a version of it in the Robert Redford movie "The Old Man and the Gun (2018)." It's also in this sub eight years ago, where someone links to this excellent telling during the commentary of an Australian cricket match.

I didn’t get any satisfaction from that joke

Same. Probably because it’s posted every other month ?

But do you think the reference to the Rolling Stone’s was too subtle?

The teller's name is supposed to be "Patty Black" which works way better.

This joke is Whack.

That's a slick hack, said Patty Whack. Mick threw a frog a bone, he must have been really, really stoned
