------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------
A poor, downtrodden beggar stands on the street, not having much luck.
Exasperated and hungry he decides to make a sign, and hastily scrawls
the word 'Beg' on a piece of cardboard. Hardly anyone pays him and his
new sign any mind. A few passers-by drop him a couple of pennies.
Suddenly, he gets an idea. He picks up his sign and to the word 'Beg' he
adds '.com'. From around the corner, two venture capitalists appear,
tripping over themselves to be the first to hand him a quarter of a
million dollars.
Pleased with his new-found wealth, the beggar decides to go one better.
Flipping his cardboard sign over, he writes 'e-Beg'.
Immediately, Jerry Yang and Bill Gates pull up in limousines and ask to
buy him out.
