That’s going to confuse most.

Possibly a poorly drawn coffee thermos but seems more like a pneumatic deposit bottle. Weirdly niche and will be unknown to most who have never seen the antiquated system that few banks use.

Womp-womp-wooommmmmp!

did he go to the bank in 1998?

Most of here are old enough to remember when rocks were used for currency.

Gee, Nancy.

If you don’t trust Frank, why didn’t YOU stop at the bank on your way home from the Fuse.

Or better yet, get Bernice to do it?

After all, she needs to “work off” some of that FREE room and board.

Frank you forgot to shoot the tube back up to the bank cashier.

I took a scan gun out of Wegmans once by accident. They were just glad I brought it back

We still have that system at our drive through bank. It works very well.

I am utterly confused.

Checks? Are they still used in the US?

I thought it was funny. Just out of curiosity, how many of you didn’t get it?

“Where are you going?”

He’s going to take a break from an annoying wife!!

I’m old fashioned enough to enjoy actually going INSIDE the bank when I make large transactions.

I once worked in an Air Force hospital that used a system of 44 pneumatic tubes to send stuff all over 4 or 5 different floors.

I remember when Costco had pneumatic tubes at the check-outs.

I’m in mid Michigan and all the local banks around here have a drive through with tube transfer.

I had to read the comments to understand what that thing was. I have no idea if those tubes have ever been used in Italy in the past, but I’m pretty sure no bank is using them today or in the last 20 years. Once you figure out what it is, the joke is pretty funny. Poor forgetful Frank!

Frank’s actully walking back to th bank to trade that tube for his car.

I think Frank is about to make a return to the bank, based on that tube thing.

All the drive-thru banks, and most drive-up RX windown in our town still use pneumatic tubes.

Frank is being prompt and honest in returning the container

makes him a bank robber

I did that once. Many years ago.

Haven’t seen or used one of those in years.

Looks like the pneumatic tube s we had at the hospital where I worked in Medical Records for 20 years. We used the tubes to send patient charts to tge ED or different patient care units.

I’m in my 60s, and I had no idea what that was.

I thought the joke was that he was leaving for work with his thermos empty.

What’s a “bank”???

I have forgotten to pick them up off the seat a couple of times. Had to run inside and give it to the teller.

OMG! That’s funny. I used to work drive-in window at a bank, never had that happen. Close though! ;-))

He actually carried it into the house?? Seems really weird that he didn’t notice that big cannister in his hand, but it does prove his fears are real. Go to the doctor Frank.

Well now we see where Luann gets her stupidity from.

Cash? Deposing a check in person?? Is this comic a rerun from the 80’s?

My bank had their ATM vandalized, so they installed one of those systems temporarily until they could get it fixed

That is funny………….

Banks? Some grocery stores still use those here…

I was going to make an important observation on this but now I forget what it was.

I don’t get it.

I think most banks/credit unions are switching to what they call ITMs—Interactive Teller Machines—that allow you to talk to a teller. I know that the Hudson River Community Credit Union in Corinth NY has made the switch. You can read more about it here: https://www.hrccu.org/itm/

Hey, look! It’s the DeGroots! Remember them? It’s almost like they moved away and left us with these dopey college kids and their sexual tensions! Remember those? Twenty-something sexual tensions? It’s like remembering gas rationing or MASH on TV!

My husband has a terrible memory, but he doesn’t know it. He forgets that he forgot something so he thinks his memory is fine.

I am ashamed to admit how often I drove off with the carrier. But only at one particular branch of my bank. Never did it at any of the other locations. I always apologized profusely, but the tellers always told me I was not the only one, and then they thanked me for returning it so promptly.

Physical cash? How quaint…

Rather obsolete… on line banking has replaced this.

Don’t worry, the deputies at the door will take it back for you…

Which is why I go into the bank instead.

It’s like walking away with the company pen and realizing when you’re home. In the 80’s I remember making the company’s bank deposit at a drop slot using the bag the bank provided.

My dog is a therapy dog in a hospital. She has about 6 years’ experience now, but in her first week one of those pneumatic tubes landed right over her head. They are very loud. To this day, she is a bit leery of them. The dog we go with had a much different experience. Someone sent a dog treat in one, so she hopes for that to happen again. As far as banking, I go inside if I need to. I can deposit checks using the bank app on my phone, but if I need cash I will go in. Because I can. Also, I don’t trust ATMs anymore as they can be messed with.

drive up teller? people just can’t get out of their cars for anything.

Drive up teller? Makes me think of pulling into a bank parking lot where a fully equipped golf cart comes out to meet you, handle your transaction, gives you a cup of coffee for the road, and says have a nice day.

Mine does..knew right away what he had and where he was going

Monday : more poolside shenanigans? Or switch to a different venue? stay tooned !

I’ve done that! Didn’t make it home with it but had to circle back around to the bank.

200 comments!

I once dropped the tube under my car, so I pulled forward and ended up running over the thing. I took it into the bank and apologized. They just pulled out another one and sent it out.

The embarrassing part was that my daughter was one of the tellers. (But it was her day off.)

Now, why would Nancy mention the nickname of one of Luann’s old teachers…? LOL d;o)

It’s a US based strip snd pneumatic tubes are all over the US in bank drive throughs. Readers from other countries need to realize that there may be references to things that are specific to the US.

Ouch.

My pharmacy still uses pneumatic tubes for the drive through. My Bank replaced it with drive-through ATMs around 10 years ago

Tara Starr and Luann returns?

Oopsie! Frank retained the pneumatic delivery cylinder! I guess he’s going to return it now. Slink, slink to car and hurry to bank drive-through again….

You people still use checks?

That happens more often than you’d think

That’s funny, because it’s so true!

Hahaha. Dads are such buffoons.
