In
ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham
Com
did
take unto himself a healthy young wife by the name of Dorothy (Dot
for short).
Dot
Com was a comely woman...
large
of breast...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 from
town, to 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 hard...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 out
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”,
(e-Bay 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.”
Abraham
'got it' and said, “YAHOO Dot Com!”
Abraham's
cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid
(GEEK) that he was, soon started Dot's drums to locate things around
the countryside. It soon became known as God's Own Official Guide to
Locating Everything (GOOGLE).
That's how it all began!
And
today, we know it as BIOTI...Best Info On The Internet!
