Impress a Client !!

I was in the airport VIP lounge en route to Seattle a couple of weeksago.
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 astraightforward kind of guy, I approached the Microsoft chairman,introduced myself, and said, "Mr. Gates, I wonder if you would do me a favor."
"Yes?"
"I'm sitting right over there," pointing to my seat at the bar, and I'mwaiting for a very important client. Would you be so kind when shearrives as to come walk by and just say "Hi Tom?" "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 andstarted 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."
