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.
