Google to Buy Earltube
Dateline: The Corner of Wall and Broad, Wellington Leg. Financial reporter Stanley Morgan, who lost his shirt on the Tigers-Yankees ( why oh why didn’t the Yanks sign the Earl? Or the Duchess with her career numbers against Kenny Rogers?) reports that Google may be interested in buying Earltube a service available only to Ostrogoths at the moment.
Earltube employs the technology of the paper towel cylinder: after squinting into one end of the tube you see the face of someone else, a sibling perhaps, on the other end. “Ostrogoths have been playing earltube for a long time,” noted Professor Moriarity. “They’re known for 20-20 vision.”
Stanley is flying to Mountain View and then to Seattle. “We’re trying to get Voltaire’s Miasma into Starbucks,” he said.
