	I have always known what's behind those plastic "windows"
at every ATM. It's alota fun poking faces at them. If the Machine
doesn't somethime I'd taped a piece of flyer on them just to piss
someone off. I just don't get it when someone is smart enough
to use other people's bank card and not smart enough to
cover the camera before screwing around with the machine.
