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
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 would this come to pass?' 

And Dot replied, 'I will place drums in all the towns and drums along
the roads between them to send messages saying what you have for sale 
and they will reply telling you which offer hath the best price. 

And lo the sale can be made on the drums and de livery made by Uria'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 moving
from his tent. 

But this success did arouse envy. 
A man named Acadia did secrete (look it up, it means to hide) himself
inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider trading. 

The young man did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly
take to camel dung. 

And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the
deafening sound of drums that no one noticed the real riches were going 
to the drum maker, one William of Gates, who bought up every drum
company in the land and indeed did insist on making drums that would
work only with 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 'e-bay' 
He said, 'We need a name that reflects what we are.' 

And Dot replied, 'Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators' 
'Y A H O O!', said Abraham. 

And that is how it all began.   (Al Gore had absolutely nothing to do
with it...)
