I was in the airport VIP lounge in route to Seattle this morning. 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 and had not arrived yet.

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 small 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 Matt'?"

"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 Matt" he said.

I replied, "Get lost Gates, I'm in a meeting."

Yeah, and it hasn't got any funnier, cleverer, or more original since.

Next time try a joke from a Garfield book, k? Or may change a few words around from something Jack Handy wrote. There may be a handful of people who haven't heard it and will think you're the funniest guy evar!

Why would Gates be at a VIP aiport lounge. Doesn't he fly in a private jet?
 
This thing's been passed around more than a 12 inch joint at a Rolling Stones concert. The name is usually changed to be someone hugely important in the world and the location differs, but it's always some place with a bar or tables.

It was funny the first few times I read it because I actually fell for the person really meeting the celebrity -then I get to the end and I'm like "oh THIS again... heh..."
 
hmmm...haha

actually one of my kids waited on him about 5 years ago when he came into Mcdonalds in a small town a couple hours south of Seattle. I understand he has a summer home down here on the canal.

I thought he was giving me a story till I talked to his assistant manager one night.

Not very interesting I suppose but at least its true.🙂
