Pre-Shabbos Vignette

Good afternoon or good morning for those lucky few!

Funny thing happened on the way to the coliseum (read: bank) this morning.
This author waited patiently in line at the ATM for over ten minutes to withdraw currency. All the while the ATM repairman was closing down the machines one by one from inside. At first, two machines were ample enough to distribute cash to those who stood before Dave. The man directly in front of Dave inserted his card into the ATM just as the second machine closed down after the previous customer withdrew. As luck would have it, as Dave took a step forward, the last machine closed down as well. Exasperated, Dave looked at the multitudes behind him and offered to get help from within the bank.

Dave entered the bank, asked the teller for help and turned around to point at the problem. In doing so, he noticed that another machine had opened in his absence; all who had been behind him were now in front.
Ten more minutes of waiting came to end with a successful withdrawal. The extra ten minutes cost Dave a few hours, he missed the Uptown shuttle, which is why he is able to type this blog now. Dave is sitting in the Stern Building trying to pass time.

Brrriinng...Brrriinngg!!! Ah, Dave finds a friend to go to lunch with.

Good Shabbos.
