The Magic ATM of Jamison

There’s a bit of a literature about the relationship between ATMs and pokies. It might be that the club has located its ATM away from the pokies so as not to be seen to be helping problem gamblers access cash too easily. But, as the ATM in the pic seems to be in an out of the way place, the club might actually be allowing a problem gambler to withdraw cash without attracting too much attention. Check out the Productivity Commission’s huge 1000 page tome on gambling, which contains a discussion on ATMs and pokies.

Old joke to play the ATM as it always spits out money like you’re winning..

Calls to mind the joke Baudrillard tells in one of his strange aphoristic books. A man is withdrawing large amounts of cash from an ATM and taking his time about it. An irate queue is forming behind him. The first irate person behind asks him when he will be finished his business. The ATM user turns in annoyance and says, ‘Can’t you see I’m winning? As long as this thing pays out I’m staying.’

hmmm…. different story if it was right next to a poker machine, but its obviously in a walk way sitting next to a candy machine and trophy case. I suspect this was much funnier after a few beverages :)>

The lucky winner gets to take home this vomitacular carpet!!!

Funny when Owen was drunk perhaps

Two seals walked into a club…

It’s a poor joke if you have to explain the punchline…

i always rekkuned atms should have a ‘double or nothing’ option – could be used like one arm bandits as a stupidity tax and save the banks charging other fees…

Look at the top of the photo.
I got a chuckle.
