I was in the
airport VIP lounge in 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, "Get lost Gates, I'm in a
meeting.
