The origin of The Internet
In ancient Israel , it came to pass that a trader called Abraham of Com
did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot.
And Dot of Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg.
Indeed, she had been called 'Amazon Dot Com'.
And she said unto Abraham, her husband, 'Why dost thou travel far from
town to town with thy goods when thou can 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 which hath
the
best price. And 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 moving
from his tent.
But this success did arouse envy A man named Maccabia did secrete
(look it up, it means to hide) himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused
of insider trading. And the young man did take to Dot Com's trading as doth
the greedy horsefly take to camel dung.
They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Siderites, or
NERDS for short.
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 the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up every
drum company in the land.
And indeed did insist on making drums 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 as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel , or as it came to be
known 'eBay' he said,
We need a name that reflects what we are.'
And Dot replied, 'Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators.'?
'YAHOO!' said Abraham. And that is how it all began.
