"But why is this all so important?" questioned Mr. Hall, for the gazillionth time that week. Mrs. Hall sighed. "It's like this. Google wants to take over the world. And I, for one, welcome our Google overlords. As such, I've been awarded he opportunity to wear their newest example of supremacy. Did you ever see the movie 'Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'? It's like getting the golden ticket to a tour of the neatest factory on earth." Mr. Hall's eyes narrowed as he tried to determine if she was snowing him or not, but he decided, in the long run, it really didn't matter. They were going to Google whether he understood it or not.
Mr. Hall was in rare form that morning. The marine layer had drawn back from the shore a little more than usual so they had a fairly decent view of the miles of bumper to bumper traffic stretching well ahead of them on the way in, and after about 45 minutes of close combat, Mr. H. was about fit to be tied.
His mood lifted however, when they passed through the giant binoculars that were the Google headquarters and were greeted by a bevy of smiling gracious youngsters.
"Would you like a coffee or a mimosa, perhaps?" inquired one of the delightful youngsters. "Cookie?" Mr. Hall relaxed a bit and ordered a cuppa joe, while Mrs. H. opted for the mimosa.
Their guide through the presentation showed them the different colors of glasses available, while all the while in the background, the barista working the concessions was grinding the coffee to make a perfectly fresh cup for Mr. Hall. Their drinks arrived, Mrs. Hall chose the white frames and the presentation continued.
