"Mr. Beezer, we have noticed that you stopped paying the rent on your
Boise virtual shopping area 37 seconds ago. For that reason we have backed
up your building to magnetic tape, and re-allocated your streetcorner to
another PAYING customer. If you have a problem with this, please link to
"vwtp://virtual.real.estate.com/USA/boise/idaho/metro_holdings.html". In
the future, please try to remember, our terms are Net 10 Seconds.
