Man Installs ATM in Living Room

CHICAGO (SNARKY) -- A Chicago man has pierced the last bastion untainted with automatic teller machines: the home.

Luke Penca, of Wicker Park, and his friends were always stopping at an ATM before heading out for the night on the town. But when the time and energy of that additional stop had gotten to be too much, Penca took matters into his own hands.

"It's right next to the front door of my place," said a proud Penca. "Saves me the inevitable detour and all the trouble associated with getting cash. Plus I'm making money off my buddies through a surcharge on withdrawals."

In keeping with the prevailing local custom, the ATM located in his Milwaukee Avenue apartment only dispenses $20 bills, better known as "yuppie food stamps".
