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 on a very important client. Would you be so kind when
she arrives as to come walk by and just say, 'Hi, Ray,'?"
"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, Ray,"
he said.
I replied,
"Fuck off, Gates, I'm in a meeting."
