Someone sent this to me in 2000. It's so old that everyone has probably seen it...but you never know. Whether it's nostalgic or not, enjoy.
And lo, it came to pass that the trader by the name 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 had been called Amazon Dot Com. And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why doest 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, 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 will be made by Uriah's Pony Stable."
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And Dot said, "There will be a lot of hoop-la and booming in the land."
And Abraham replied, "It is my most fervent wish that this be so." So 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 his success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secret himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider trading. And the young did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dubai Siterites.
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 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 if you bought Brother William's drumsticks.
And Dot did say, "O Abraham! What we have begun is being taken by others." And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel or "Ebay" he said, "We need a name for our service that reflects what we are."
And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators"
"Whoopee!" cried Abraham.
"No. YAHOO!" exclaimed Dot Com.
Corny? Yes. Amusing? Yes. Have a great day!
