Back at home, Homer discovers that Ned Flanders has his own home-based Internet business and decides he wants to start his own company. However, Homer has not the foggiest idea of how an Internet business works nor what to peddle (he doesn't even own a computer). He is later visited by Bill Gates and his goons, who offer to buy him out. Homer then learns that Gates' definition of "buy out" is to smash up Homer's office, with the snarky response "I did not get rich by writing a lot of checks".
