The Compatibility Game

by Roger L. Main

[Musical Introduction]

Announcer: It’s time, once again, for America’s favorite game show! Yes, it’s The Compatibility Game. Now,  let’s meet our eligible bachelorettes:

Announcer: Bachelorette Number One, although, the most popular is not easy even though she’s been with 51 percent of users. Please welcome Internet Explorer!

[applause]

Announcer: Bachelorette Number Two is a traditional girl who likes to do everything the old fashioned way. But when you know how to play her she’ll guarantee you a good time. Give it up for Firefox!

[applause]

Announcer: And finally, Bachelorette Number Three is the shy type. She only holds 5% of users in the palm of her hand while she loves everyone, she’s mostly seen with a certain type, but those who love her really love her. Give a warm welcome to Safari!

[applause]

Announcer: And who’s the lucky guy who gets to choose one of our charming Bachelorettes? Why it’s none other than Your Website! So, get ready, Website to play The Compatibility Game!

[applause]

Your Website: Bachelorette Number Two, if I were to read a script with you, where could I expect it to go?

Bachelorette Number One: Well, you know I looove to get all scripty. I love it sooo much that I have my own. I just love to do things my own way and, well, you know, I can do that because everyone loves me.

[Innuendo induced oos and aahs]

Your Website: Bachelorette Number Two, it sounds like you have a lot of style. Do you think you have the same kind of style as the other girls?

Bachelorette Number Two: I don’t think so – well, maybe like Bachelorette Number Three, but I’m like so totally different to Bachelorette Number One. She has her own style and it’s the wrong style!

[mrreow, hiss]

Your Website: Bachelorette Number Three, I just love to flash. Do you like to flash?

Bachelorette Number Three: You know, I used to love to flash, just like everybody else. It used to be something that all of us used to all do the same way, but now I’m not into it so much anymore. In fact I’ll never flash at my pad.

[aaaawwww]

Announcer: So, Website, what’ll it be – choose your eligible bachelorette: will it be Bachelorette Number One, the versatile and popular Internet Explorer, Bachelorette Number Two, the traditional girl next door, Firefox or Bachelor Number Three, the exclusive and alluring Safari?

Your Website: Can’t I have all three?
