In a savvy move, Microsoft has purchased Yahoo.com, one of the largest internet websites for only $8.25. Instead of structuring complicated stock offers and financial deals, Microsoft just waited for the domain name to expire. "After they rejected our offer to buy them for $46 billion, we decided to go another route." said an MS spokesperson.

Microsoft's VP of Aquisitions,  Kay Glaizer explained the tactic. 'This was a multi pronged attack on our part. We outsourced 10,000 jobs to India and had them just keep hitting 'refresh' on the GoDaddy domain name search website as the expiration date got closer. Also, we found out which employee at Yahoo was responsible for renewing the domain name. Once we found out who he was, we promptly dispatched five of our top prostitutes to his home to persuade him to take the day off of work. We keep the girls on retainer just for situations like this. "

Just a few days earlier, Microsoft had offered to buy the website for $46 billion but the offer was declined by Yahoo's executives who felt it was too low. When asked for a comment, Bill Gates released the following statement "Dont fuck with me".
