Why is she stupid?

Actually she is moving with the times and not using that crap stuff that is
heavy to carry and useless.

I have purchased with my credit card a mars bar from a supermarket, total
cost $1.50.  Also i have purchased a concession zone 1 daily which cost a
grand $2 something some a mcard machine with my eftpos card.  (ohh btw i do
have a concession card so dont get any ideas about that).  Why dont u get a
life and stop worring if somebody is trying 2 buy a ticket with a eftpos
card?
