In ancient
of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the
name of Dot. 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. 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
having to leave his tent.
To prevent neighboring 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
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!"exclaimed 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!
