It all began long, long ago, before the time of the wheel, when man discovered that having a roof over his hut kept his fire from going out when it rained. And so it began, the roofing industry was born! Out of those humble beginnings, men began to work on how to design and install better roofs.
Later, back at the ranch . . .
Approximately 5000 years later, several "roofers", as they had come to be known, were sitting around their fire and began to reflect on how their humble trade of providing roofs for others had earned such a bad name. It made them sad.
Out from under the rock . . .
They decided that someone had to be different. Somebody had to show people that roofers were good people and didn't deserve a bad name. Somebody had to rise up to be a roofer that people talked good about. Somebody had to be a roofer who didn't look like they were just released from prison!
It's so crazy, it just might work . . .
They decided that they could make a difference and at the same time still support their two habits: eating and living indoors. They could start a company by combining each of their existing companies. Their combined size would allow them to compete with the other big roofing companies.
What's in a name? . . .
But what would they call this company that did roofing? Hmmmm . . .They thought long and hard and finally voted on the name "Microsoft." Only to be dismayed to find out that the name was already taken! They were heartbroken.
It's a sign from
above . . .
Suddenly, the phone rang and a voice on the other end asked if this was the roofing company . . and so the legend was born!
