Hi. I see that you drive a Hummer. Aren’t you concerned about the environment?
I can see quite high above the environment.
Do you ever try taking a Bus?
No I like this car. It has 8 cupholders and a place to put my tree-cutting chainsaw.
No I mean a Bus. Enterprise Service Bus?
Oh that. Well no.
Why not. Everyone else has one?
Well I am happy travelling point to point. It gives me more freedom.
Oh I see! You mean you don’t have a central Repository/Registry controlling your navigation?
Umm no. I don’t have a navigation system. My wife helps me navigate.
So you always know where you are going, and what route to take?
Actually yah. Usually. It is ok I am not looking for the fastest route.
Yes, but don’t you have RASP? Where are your ilities?
Ummm. I don’t know what you are talking about. Raspilities?
You know. Ilities. Reliability, Scalability, Security, Possibility
Those sound expensive. Does it come with the bus ticket?
Hey now you understand! So lets see your WSDL!
My Wiz What?
You know. Descriptions of your service consumers and service producers. I need those if I can get you to your destination
This is exactly why I drive.
Did you know that 1 of every messages not sent on a bus are lost or stolen?
That is why I have insurance
No insurance can protect you against what may happen in an unmanaged SOA.
Well I’ll just take my chances.
Do you ever consider going green?
My Hummer is already painted green
Well you should really put your services on a virtualized stack so that you can go green.
Oh… I already own VMWare. I just bough it yesterday at 90 bucks a share!
I don’t think you get it. You really should take a SOA Assessment immediately. Your short sighted thinking is really causing all of us harm as well as polluting the environment. And you really should try public transportation like an Enterprise Service Bus!
In the interest of full disclosure: Dain currently takes the local subway each day to get to work, and to save the environment, lowers his carbon footprint by driving a Mini Cooper. He also inserts himself quite regularly onto AquaLogic Service Bus.

Didn't think you seemed like a Hummer driver when I met you at the New Hire Training today!
Great analogy!
