Tell you what I find funny about drive-through ATM's:

 

Over in the US they are common place and when I lived there I used this facility quite a lot. However, on the keypad all the keys have the numbers written on them (as usual) but also in Braille for the blind ... :shock: If you're blind you really shouldn't be driving :wack:

 

Only in the US of A! :D
