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 Richard” 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 myshoulder. It was Bill Gates. I turned around and looked up at him.

He said “Hi Richard, what's happening?”

To which I replied “F**k off Gates, I'm in a meeting”
