Short Link to this Quote:
This quote by Bob Hope suggests that banks are typically only willing to provide loans or lend money to people who can clearly demonstrate they have sufficient funds and financial security on their own. Hope seems to be jokingly pointing out the irony that banks want to see that a borrower does not actually need to take out a loan before approving one.
The quote humorously acknowledges that it can be paradoxical or counterintuitive for lending institutions to only provide credit to individuals who could arguably afford to forgo a loan in the first place due to their existing wealth and financial stability.
