Oh Val, I laughed so hard starting from no. 5 onwards. Thanks so much. How do you come up with these wild things? Very funny.

I love this! There is a third procedure -- my mom's. For some unknown reason she parks the car and walks to the drive up machine!

Ces--
I was searching for something else, and came across this ATM joke. I notice that the best finds are the ones I'm not looking for. This applies to shopping, too.

It's so nice to see you around my corner of Blogworld. Now that school's over, I'll have some time to catch up on other people's blogs.

Mark--
Actually there are two more procedures...both of which are widely used around my house:

Female: Pay for groceries with debit card and get extra cash back.

Male: Take half the cash from wife's wallet.
