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 ex-chairman, introduced myself, and said, “Mr
Gates, I wonder if you would do me a favor.”
“Yes?” He asked,
“I’m sitting right over there,” Pointing to my seat at the bar, I continued,… “And I’ m waiting for a very important client. Would you be so kind when she arrives as to come walk by and just say,… ‘Hi Tom?’”
“Sure.” Bill agreed, with a kind smile.
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 we started to talk business.
A couple of minutes later, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It Was Bill Gates
“Hi, Tom,” he said.
I replied, “Shut up, Bill, I’m in a meeting.”
