I was in the airport VIP lounge en route to Seattle a couple of weeks
ago.
While in there, I noticed Bill Gates sitting comfortably in the
corner, enjoying a drink.
I was meeting a very important client who was also flying to Seattle,
but she was running a little bit late.
Well, being a straightforward kind of guy, I approached the Microsoft
chairman, introduced myself, and said, "Mr. Gates, I wonder if you
would do me a favor." "Yes?"
"I'm sitting right over there," pointing to my seat at the bar, "and
I'm waiting for a very important client.
Would you be so kind when she arrives as to come walk by and just say
"Hi Tom?"
"Sure."
I shook his hand and thanked him and went back to my seat.
About ten minutes later, my client showed up.
We ordered a drink and started to talk business.
A couple of minutes later, I felt a tap on my shoulder.
It Was Bill Gates. "Hi, Tom," he said.
I replied, "Shut up, Bill, I'm in a meeting."
