OK, so we have all gotten emails discussing the misadventures of blondes and rednecks, this is not a joke, but an actual event witnessed by me no less than 20 minutes ago!
I was on my way home from work, and had just stopped to get a sandwich from Subway, and buy a 12 pack of my favorite carbonated beverage, Pepsi. I realized that I still had a check my grandmother had sent me for my birthday, so I decided to deposit it in the ATM at my bank.
When I pulled into the bank there was another vehicle that had just beaten me to the ATM. This is where the story gets better...
The vehicle in front of me, a truck was being driven by a blonde haired woman. This woman must have thought that her arms were five feet long, because she parked no where near (average) arm length away from the machine. The woman chooses to stick her entire body out of her window to reach the machine. She grabs a deposit envelope and returns to the seat of her truck. After a few moments the half body is again hanging out the window. I noticed that she never inserted an ATM card, a very important step when at an ATM. She tries to insert the envelope into the slot.
The envelope will not go into the slot, one there is not ATM card, and two the slot does not open, unless programed by the ATM card. So with no luck on depositing her money she again returns to her seat. I then witness her door fly open, she nailed the ATM machine with her door, then quickly shut it. Again, a half body pops out the window, to survey the prospective damage caused by the machine. After a quick look she again returns to her seat.
The door opened again, this time she exited the vehicle, but still with the same goal in mind, deposit the money. I watched her try to stuff it in the machine many times and in many ways. She turned the envelope over, tried it end over end, side over side, it was pitiful! To top it off, she took a new envelope and put the contents of her original envelope inside it! She actually though it was the envelope's fault! Well, after about 5 minutes of trying she gave up, returned to her truck and drove away.
Now anyone who knows me when I am hungry and sitting next to my food with a cold 12 pack of my favorite carbonated beverage counting down until pro wrestling is coming on TV knows I am not a patient man. I swear I would have sat there all night watching this lady!
So my question is, was it a blonde thing, or was she a redneck? (I live in Tennessee)
PAM ANDERSON on being named E!'s best blonde: "The carpet don't match the drapes!" "... Just kidding, there is no carpet."
Being a redneck myself, I can safely say that was a "blonde" moment. When she opened her door, she checked for the damage to the door, nto to the ATM. As a redneck, I know I would've gotten out of the truck WITHOUT causing ANY damage to the truck. No damage to the truck. PERIOD. AFter leaving the vehicle, I would grab the nearest closest object and lay a hurtin' on the ATM. Then I'd go try another ATM nearby, cussing all the while about the previous ATM and/or random ramblings.
Well... Run a ping to the wienerboard from your computer. If it comes back, then there is something wrong with your browser. Or maybe your TCP/IP stack. If you are confident with re-installing your TCP/IP stack, then try that.
