- The buzzer rang. A man wearing odd headgear with multiple zoom lenses stood at the door. "Hi there. You've won a free mapping of your residence for google@home."
- "How did you get on this property?" shouted the secret service butler. "Google mappers are not permitted in or near the White House!" But the man with the headgear pushed passed hi
