Automated Teller Machines.

or in Canada they are called ABM's (if I recall correctly) or Automated Banking Machines.

Thanks Ramanth! You live and learn.

Why are the speed zones reduced in front of schools during the school day? Don't we assume all the kids are inside the schools, learning away? Shouldnt the school speed zones be in effect when kids are OUT OF SCHOOL? Like, all summer long?

I have NEVER understood why ATMs have braille. First, are you driving while blind? OHHHHH I understand, you are walking in a area cars normally drive through...and you wonder why you are run over like a pancake, and now need those stick figure spots that Richard was making fun of?


ALRIGHT- one more, WHY WHY WHY do you have to enter your account number on those automated phone lines, and the FIRST thing the person that answers says? "Can I have your account number, please?". What, was that just a digit exercise???

this is a more specific stupid question, but why can'tmy boss think outside the exactness of a question. Huh?

Today I was getting stone chip repaired in my windshield. The order was in Ralph's name becuase he is the primary on our insurance. Service man comes in, asks for Ralph ___( mind you, I work in a company with 11 people, and not only do we have a company dinner every yaer at Christmas, but this boss came to my wedding!) My boss tells him, nope, no one here by that name. You are inthe wrong place! Thankfull yht e service guy could think on his feet and ask, what about a Mrs.____. Oh, yeah...we have one of those! AND THIS MAN HAS A PhD!!!

[Cataholic]

Might I suggest it is BECAUSE of his PhD that he wasnt able to make the connection? We have people that call here and ask for 'Joanna' . Guess who does NOT get the call?

just a guess, but maybe in case something happens, and no one can get in or something where they have to close down... ?

Ok here's a question I thought was too stupid to ask but hey I'll go for it.

How do I get Isis to cover her poop?

It drives me crazy she'll cover up her pee but poop no way! This cat's poop can peel paint too.

What time is midnight Mass?

That idiotic question reminds me of the following idiotic question.

Why do customers in a 'Everything is a pound(£) shop'
still ask 'How much is that ?'

Duhhhh. A Pound (£)

Okay here's one that's been bugging me for a while now...before I put it down I'll just say that yes I know how pathetic I am ...

Mickey Mouse, does he have commitment issues or something? After all he's been going out with Minnie for over 60 years now and they still aren't married...or engaged even.

I blame Minnie. Whenever Mickey tries to do something nice and something bad happens, she immediatly blames him. Like that whole tornado episode when the stupid tornado was the one that wrecked her yard...She's always jumping to conclusions

I have a question; Why is it that Draino is so incredibly corrosive that it can wipe out all that is clogging your drain, and yet it manages to stay in the thin plastic bottle?

When a firehouse catches on fire, who comes to put out the fire???!!!


hehehe, lol, I know other county fire departments would come, but the question sounds funny at first.

[Uabassoon]

I've often wondered that--all 24 hour convenience stores have locks--why?????????

Well somtimes especially when you don't live on the good side of town, convenience stores get held up so they need to shut down and wait for the cops to come and fix things. It happens here all the time. It's kind of pain when you drive to the 7/11 and they are closed.
