Applejack is temporarily manning the School of Friendship's financial office when a diamond dog comes in to apply for a loan.
Written for the FimFiction Feghoot Festival! It's also my 100th story, because of course it is.

2,000% did not see that coming. Walked right into it like a brick wall after turning a corner. Great story.
As soon as Pebble handed over the figure I started going "No...it couldn't be" but you did it. The ultimate Dad Joke.
The prose shades to purple at the beginning, but it pays off in the end. Good thing it does; the interest rates are killer. Best of luck in the contest.
I'm convinced Pebble is a comedian and convinced Twilight to get along in trolling AJ.
Thought it was gonna be a small loan of a million dollars
The dad joke strike again.
The dad joke strike again.
I have yet to read this, but by the title alone, the last line better be "Knick knack paddy whack give the dog a loan"

OH THANK GODS
Someone's a Norm McDonald fan
When he pulled out the parasprite, it clicked for me and I saw the punchline coming hehe.
DANGNABIT!
That's a variation on the oldest one in the book.
Ah, puns. Never apologize, never explain. I like it. :)
I was fully expecting the first sentence of the last line, but I admit you got me by continuing on to the second half.
God my autism is acting up, everyone seems to think the joke is hilarious but I don’t understand the reference at all :(
If this wasn’t so funny I would have an enormous urge to clip you one around the ear...

Ever hear the song, "This Old Man?"
That was almost worthy of Stephen Pastis just for the set up. Now go take your beating from Rat, like a Pony.
Trolololololololololol
Get trolled, AJ!
Knick Knack Paddywack, give a dog a PS4!!!!
(Blame Caddicarus for me think of that instead of the normal one)

Here’s a Wikipedia article that may help explain it—specifically, look at the last three lines of each stanza.

The final punchline is wordplay based on a nursery rhyme that goes a little something like "knick knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone, this old man came rolling home."
...
I knew what this was going in.
And yet I'm still headdesking.
Gaaaaaaaaah
i'm sorry is it me or is a lot of these one off stories keep making unrelated premises just to set up for a sudden punchline.
God dammit!
ARGHHHH
I've taken in about three or four of these types of stories and I've come to three conclusions.
1. I hate this story.
2. I hate you.
3. I hate everything that this contest stands for.
Now, if anyone has a list of these contest entries on hand, I need to shelve them so I can see what people more creative than me can come up with.
Please note: Everything above the contest list request is a joke. Please do not take it seriously. I really would like a list for a bookshelf, though.
Amazing how long a lead up some of these have.
*looks at cover*
AJ is bemused.
I actually LAUGHED OUT LOUD at this.
I found this to be funnier than it has any right to be. Good job.

That is explicitly what a Feghoot is, and there's a Feghoot challenge going on right now. Isaac Asimov was the grandmaster of Feghoots. :D
I spotted the punchline at about the halfway mark. Helps a lot that I'd seen a very similar joke years ago involving the son of Mick Jagger and an Irish bank clerk named Paddy Whack.

Both of you may be interested to see the list of Feghoot stories associated with the currently running FimFiction Feghoot Festival
And yep, I saw the punchline to this one coming, but it's still glorious.
Ugh. Have your upvote and be happy about it.
When I started I knew it was headed for a joke and as soon as the figurine came out I had the punchline.
God damn you, threw my phone as soon as I read the punchline. Wasn’t expecting that at all.
OH MY GOD.
You fucker.
You SONVABITCH!
I shoulda known this was part of that damn contest.
Have a like you sonvabitch.
I can appreciate a feghoot once in a while, but I will be so fucking happy when that damn contest is over already.
Take your damn like.
I'm going to curl up in a corner and cry.
The best part is, I know this joke and still didn't see it coming
Oh my lord, Twinkletail...
This was one of the funniest things I’ve ever read on this site, period. You should be proud of yourself, man. For a read on my birthday, this definitely made my day even better.
This is the first time a punchline has flown off the screen and landed on my face with no panties.

A story in this format is nicknamed a feghoot, after a character called Ferdinand Feghoot who starred in a series of similar shaggy-dog stories by the science-fiction author Reginald Bretnor. It caught on to the point other SF authors such as Isaac Asimov tried their hands at it as well, and it’s become something of a staple. Super Trampoline has sponsored a feghoot contest here on Fimfiction, which is why you’re seeing a sudden rush of such tales.
For a nick-nack, poliwack, give a dog a bone. This old man came rolling home.
I have to admit I didn't get it first, until I realized and want to punch myself for not getting it. You sir, get a upvote from me.
It's gonna take something spectacular to top this one. I bought in 100% even though I knew it was a feghoot.
There are those who would suggest that murder is too good for you.
I find I must disagree. Murder would serve very nicely in my opinion.
Congratulations on getting me to make an audible snicker instead of my accustomed smirk.
Have an upvote, you bastard.
