in
ancient israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did
take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dorothy. And Dot Com was a comely
woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. indeed, she was often called Amazon
Dot Com.
And
she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why dost thou travel so far from town
to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy
tent?"
And
Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel
load, but simply said, "How, dear?"
And
Dot replied, "i will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to
send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you
who hath the best price. The sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by
Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."
Abraham
thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the
drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had
at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent.
To
prevent neighbouring countries from overhearing what the drums were saying, Dot
devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. it was known as Must Send
Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas
and pictures - Hebrew To The People (HTTP).
And
the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to
camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites,
or NERDS.
And
lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound
of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that
enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off every drum
maker in the land. indeed he did insist on drums to be made that would work only
with Brother Gates' drumheads and drumsticks.
And
Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by
others."
And
Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel , or eBay as it came to be known.
He
said, "We need a name that reflects what we are."
And
Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators."
"YAHOO,"
said Abraham.
And
because it was Dot's idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com.
Abraham's
cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid (GEEK) that he
was, soon started using Dot's drums to locate things around the countryside.
it
soon became known as God's Own Official Guide to Locating Everything (GOOGLE).
That
is how it all began. And that's the truth . . .?
