I can't let you leave because the computer is down.

So I was at the Faulkner hospital again today and troubles getting out of the parking lot.

The fee was $3. I handed the attendent a $20.

He couldn't open the register.

It seemed to be locked.

He had to call some one to help him.

I found $3 in my wallet and offered it to him.

"How about if I give you the $3 and you give me back my $20, open the gate and let me out of here, and figure out the problem with the cash register later?"

"I can't do that," he replied.

The register controls the bar that goes up and down and he couldn't lift it without the register allowing it to.

So help soon arrived and the supervisor told the attendent to push a button. That allowed the register to open.

We got our change, 17 $1 bills, and left.
