This is making the rounds... <G>

You may have noticed Bill Gates' mild demeanor on the cover of Time
magazine this week -- placed there no doubt by some earstwhile P.R. firm
seeking to neutralize the devastating publicity Microsoft has endured
during the trial.
After the recent Anti-trust hearings, Bill Gates recently compared the
software market with the soft drink market. He says Microsoft is
struggling to survive but that the beverage giant will be on top forever
because the Department of Justice doesn't pick on them. Of course, Bill
should be careful not to give Coke any ideas. We might end up with a
scenario like the following:
Joe: (walking into McDonalds) Hi, I'd like a Big Mac.
Cashier: Okay, here's your Big Mac and here's your Coke. That'll be
$3.99.
Joe: Uh, I don't want a Coke.
Cashier: Sorry, they're bundled.
Joe: What? I'm not paying for a Coke!
Cashier: You don't; the Coke is free.
Joe: But wasn't a Big Mac $2.49 last week?
Cashier: Sure, but this latest Big Mac is far more innovative. It's
got integrated Coke!
Joe: I already bought a Snapple across the street...I'm not going to
drink the Coke.
Cashier: Then you can't have the burger.
Joe: Okay, fine, I will pay the $3.99 and throw the Coke away.
Cashier: Oh, you can't do that. They're seamlessly integrated.
Totally inseparable.
Joe: How can that be? They're two totally separate things!
Cashier: No, watch. (takes Big Mac, dunks it in a tank of Coke) See?
Joe: Why did you just do that?!
Cashier: It's a benefit to the consumer. Otherwise you'd end up with
two different, inconsistent tastes. This way you're assured of a
continuous taste across all your foods.
Joe: Aaarrgh!
