1. Late one night, as an Eastern Bank security guard was making his rounds, he heard a strange humming noise coming from inside the vault. Curious but cautious, he approached the heavy door and peered through the small window—only to see rows upon rows of old-fashioned calculators, each glowing softly in unison. As he watched, mesmerized, the calculators seemed to form patterns on their glowing screens. Suddenly, one device lit up with a big smiley face! Startled, the guard jumped back, only to realize it was just a reflection from his own security badge. Relieved laughter filled the vault, and he decided never to bring his lunch there again—the last thing he needed was an office prank from beyond the grave.
2. Late one night, as an Eastern Bank security guard was making his rounds, he heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, please. The ATM is out of cash again. Please use our friendly tellers for your transactions.’ Curious, the guard followed the voice and found himself standing in front of a small door marked ‘Manager’s Office.’ Inside sat an old man with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Just testing the system,’ he said with a smile. The guard nodded, shook hands, and went back to his rounds, muttering under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll believe the ATM really is out of cash!’
