sphinx: i'll get a job where the money's kept

this story.

a few weeks ago, outside commerce bank on bond and broadway. prosperous area.

the brinks truck pulled up. one man drew his handgun, as the other wheeled a heavy handtruck of coins onto the sidewalk. some latin men walked by, he raised his gun, over his head.

must be a tough job, giving this trained and experienced - and licensed - weapon holder- to give him the jitters.

it was a little strange because commerce is such a friendly,family oriented bank. dog treats and lollipops (for the kids) line the counter. there is usually a policeman on the premises.

it happened agian thenext week. approximately 11:30 am, friday. the brinsk truck unloads moneyat commerce bank, bond and brodway

and then i got to thinking: i should get ajob where the money is kept. there must be a grea tbig, money dispensary, outthere, somewhere??? thye don't keep money at banks anymore.it;'s too risky. and who would be responsible.

i guess your money has been outsourced. it didn;'t happenovernight. it used to be , you could only get money out of yourown bank. no more; you an go to any deli, grocery store, or bank for that matter, and withdraw money.
