Chapter One

"We're gonna need one hundred thousand to..."

 

"What?  Are you sure?" exclaimed Andy, almost dropping his coffee cup.

 

"You want to do the math?"  Joe snarled at his roommate.

 

As both were at an especially prestigious school which required extremely high levels of mathematical ability it was a rhetorical question. 

 

To continue at the university, to pay their bills and have enough left over to eat, the sum was not unreasonable.  The fact they didn't have that kind of money, not even half of it, was fact.

 

"Oh boy..."  Andy said, sinking his bed.

 

He sat, looking at Joe's back as he stared at the computer screen.  Then Joe said;  "I have an idea..."  in his slow calm way.

 

"I'll take it!"

 

Joe turned to face Andy.   Draining every molecule of drama from the moment;  "We open a webpage, we fill it with ads."

 

"Uh huh...."

 

"We'll get about 15c for every click on an ad and like $1.83 for every thousand views."

 

"Uhhhhhhhhh,"   Andy moaned.

 

Joe turned back to the computer; "If we could get, say one hundred thousand views every day plus say a thousand clicks... then..."

 

"We will only have to go out on the road and collect one hundred bottles...to be returned...." 

 

Joe sucked his teeth;  "I told you, I have an idea."

 

"I just heard it..." Andy flicked.

 

"No, you heard the background of the idea.  Would you like to hear the actual idea?"
