constantly scrolling headlines? It's come to the point where there's news on the news! If the news in the bar

Technically, all of the ATMs
are the same. ATM manufacturers make no distinction between a regular ATM and one you may drive up next to.
Therefore, they don't take off the braille writing...

That one I can't answer, but
what I said is the reason why they have braille on drive-through ATMs. Why would you make a different design just to
remove braille?
Actually, maybe someone who can see and also knows braille better than English wants to take a
driver's test. They could learn enough to know what the signs mean but need to take the braille test to understand
it. That sounds a little far-fetched, but I could see the lawsuit now if they didn't do it...
California also allows for translators to read the questions to non-english speakers. Nothing against
immigrants but being able to read road signs might help them be safer drivers.
It wouldn't need to be a
different design at all. Different keys, they are pretty generic. The part that gets me are the self adhesive
braille stickers next to the keyboard with instructions. The drive up machines are different because they are
designed for lower enclosures that are more weather and impact resistant.

If I remember correctly, the manufacturers and the installers are
either different or separate. Therefore, the manufacturers in some cases don't even know how they'll be used.
The truth is that my information came directly from a manufacturer that stated, "We don't differentiate between
walk-up and drive-up ATMs. They're all the same, so therefore the braille is put on all of them." Coincidentally,
the question was asked due to it being part of the George Carlin routine and e-mail/postings like this.
"Arsenio Hall becoming
famous"
The shopping cart one
makes no sense "the person apologized and you say its all right to be polite"If they person doesnt apologize then I
would use "stupid idiot".
The Kamikaze one is easy to answer.Why does any pilot wear a helmet?Even though
they were suicidal they had to make it to their targets safely so they could commit suicide right?
And how do they keep their pants "so smurfy white" when they are
always walking on the ground?
How are there so many smurfs

I wonder if video game testers
blow off work by playing other video games...
I wonder if Pepsi employees get fired if they test positive for
Coke...
I wonder if the Burger King is a bachelor. I've never heard about a queen or princess in the 51 years
it's operated.
I wonder what McDonald's means by, "I'm lovin' it." Are they referring to the love of
splurging on fat, salt, and sugar-rich foods that trigger every food pleasure sense of the body or the love of
contributing to the growing obesity epidemic.
I wonder why people say they don't have time to do things and
then go home and watch 3-4 hours of television per day.
I wonder why people who snap and eventually commit
suicide go on a killing spree first. I see a much faster way to get from point A to point B...
I wonder why
people look at paper bus schedules a second time after waiting for an extended period of time. Did the schedule
suddenly change in the 15 minutes since you last checked it? Are you expecting it to read, "4:35 - Sorry, but we're
running late! We'll be there at 4:52."
I wonder why people leave home to buy fast food to save time at the
expense of health when it takes over 20 minutes to go out, get the food, and come back and only 12 minutes to cook a
burger on a George Foreman grill and pop open a Pepsi can. In the winter, you could steam or grill vegetables in the
time it takes to warm up your car so you can go and stuff your face with grease.
I wonder why people take so
much time to find the remote when they could've just gotten up and changed the channel.
I wonder why people
aren't satisfied with the color of their bodies...all this money goes into making their teeth whiter, their skin
darker, their hair richer, their lips redder...
I wonder what would happen if they started advertising
vegetables like they advertise beer. You see a bunch of macho guys with attractive women in bikinis, and they're
eating a vegetable platter. "Nothing makes a party better than Budweiser Broccoli!" I wonder how many people would
start eating veggies after that advertising campaign.
