ATM Frustrations

From my knowledge, ATM machines is to ease the people's burden of queing up in the banks to withdraw money. So why is it that the ATM machines are all/mostly 'OUT OF SERVICE' in celebration times?

Yesterday I went to the ATM to withdraw money and I've found out that only 1 of the machines are only WORKING.. the rest with the OUT OF SERVICE message displayed. The queue was so long that people have to queue outside of the ATM room and out onto the walkway. Today's the eve of Deepavali and I can forsee that more ATM if not all of them will be displaying the OUT OF SERVICE message. Why should the consumer be paying the annual ATM card fee if they are not able to fully utilize them even during public holidays?

What's the use of having the ATM facility when they are OUT OF SERVICE when the banks are on holidays? Its the same as having more counters open with extended hours during banking days. I don't really see the point of having the convenience at all !!!!

Beer: The Lighter Side

Something for drinking session warmup...

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shamed. Then I look into the glass and think
about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out
of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their
dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when
the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is
good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the
regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the
slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and
weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
