badlittlemonkey pulls up to the drive-in teller at Bank of America. He puts the check he needs to deposit, the deposit slip and his driver's license in the whooshy chute thing and presses "send." He waits patiently, letting his mind drift off toward one of the four million things presently occupying it.)

(Once more with the whooshing, the signing, and the returning.)
