[lfjokes] How to Impress a Client

I was in the VIP lounge last week en route to Seattle.  Whilst in the
lounge, I noticed Bill Gates sitting on the chesterfield 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 Chris" at me when I was
with my client.  He 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, "Hi Chris, what's happening?"  To which I replied "Fuck off Gates,
I'm in a meeting".
