Quote:
Back in the dot-com boom, Roger and I talked about setting up a company called intertrout.com, which would work just like Interflora, except that you'd go to your local fishmonger, pick a type of fish, make your order, and a local fishmonger near your recipient would pick up the necessary fish, go and find the recipient, and smack him or her smartly about the face with it, then leave a polite little card explaining why.

If that plan had ever come to fruition, I'd probably now be offering a free troutslap, on the house, to whoever developed a soi-disant "web based app" that only runs on browsers for one operating system.
