mum received a parking fine yesterday at springgy for parking longer than indicated.

mum: here's $50 so you can pay it tomorrow

angie: nah, too lazy mum hehe

mum: what? no time? when then?

angie: how about now? it allows for payment over the internet

mum: but it's closed now. people are having dinner.

angie: not the internet. you can pay it anytime, day or night.

mum: but there will be no people on the other side of the computer? people are at home? eating dinner? how will they know we've paid for it?

angie: it will go into the councils computer database.

mum: oh .. what about the money? how are you going to send this $50 note off? where's the slot in the computer to slip it in? and what if it gets lost?

angie: hahahaha mum! everythings done online these days. i have a netbank account, they can debit it out of my credit card.

mum: you have a credit card .. ?!!

angie: oh .. uh yes. its miscellaneous these days! don't worry, it's limited to a mere $200.

mum: mmm okay then. whoa that's so clever! so how will they know that i paid for it? will the computer tell them tomorrow?

angie: lol i don't know. if the infringement has been paid, then uh .. your name will be deleted from the database? or it will be marked as paid?

mum: oooh okay *puzzled look* good girl.
