DEFINITE! D-E-F-I-N-*I*DAMMIT-T-E. DEFINITE! GOD, I get so tired of reading this on the net. | The other day I was using the ATM machine at my bank, and I noticed that | they upgraded the ATM machine to include Braile buttons. I thought, "Gee | I'm glad my bank is willing to spend a little extra money to help out people | who are blind". Then I realized: | | This was a drive-thru ATM machine. I'm not even gonna mention "braille", since that's a word we don't see all that often. I *will* point out that this came from rec.humor.funny, but I don't find it all that humorous. I see people get out of cars at drive-thru machines all the time. Suppose I'm a passenger and ask the driver to stop by the bank for me. I'm on the wrong side of the car and either have to get out or give the driver my secret code number. While I might give that number to a lot of friends because I trust them and/or assume that they'll forget it before we hit the bank driveway, I certainly wouldn't pass it out to just anyone I happened to be in the car with. +--------------------------------------------------+ |Dave Cochran, Data General Corporation, RTP, NC | |cochran@dg-rtp.dg.com | +--------------------------------------------------+ |What to do I find it hard to know. The road I walk| |is not the one I chose. -Yes | +--------------------------------------------------+
