So one day an English individual named James 'Duke of' York sailed into the harbor with his fleet and captured New Amsterdam without the Dutch firing a single shot. He was able to do this because at the time the city's commissioner for the Department of Firing Back was testifying before the Special Grand Jury to Investigate Municipal Corruption, which is still in session. And thus was the name of New Amsterdam changed to "The Big Apple."''
