A tip from Bernie, while sitting at the airport.

Subject: How to impress a client

I was in the VIP lounge last week en route to Seattle. While in the lounge, I noticed Bill Gates sitting nearby enjoying a cognac.

I was meeting with a very important client who was also flying to Seattle with me, but she was running a bit late. Being a forward type of guy, I approached Mr. Gates and introduced myself. I explained to him that I was conducting some very important business, and how I would appreciate it if he could throw a quick "Hello Bernie" at me when I was with my client. He smiled conspiratorially and agreed.

Ten minutes later, while I was conversing with my client, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Bill Gates. I turned around and looked up at him. He said, "Hello Bernie, what's happening?"

To which I replied, "F__k off Gates, I'm in a meeting."
