While at the New Orleans International airport having lunch with a
client at the Airport restaurant, a southern businessman notices Bill
Gates sitting at the counter. When his client goes to the restroom, he
approaches Bill Gates, introduces himself and says, "Look, I know you
don't know me, but I am trying hard to impress this client. It would
really help me out if on your way out of here if you could just say, Hi
Jim, to me as you pass. I sure would appreciate it."
Bill smiles, and says sure, no problem.
So about 15 minutes later as Bill leaves, he decides he is really going to do this big, so he walks up to the 2 men and pats Jim on the back and says, "Hey Jim, really good to see you old buddy, we really have to get together again, hows the wife and kids?"
Jim stands up and and looks harshly at Bill Gates and loudly says, "Geeze Bill, do you mind?!? Can't you see I'm meeting with a client right now?! Look, if you want another meeting with me, call my office and set up an appointment like everyone else"
