    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 Peter" at me when I was with my client. He kindly agreed.

    Ten minutes later while I was conversing with my client, I felt a tap
    on my shoulder. It was Bill Gates. I turned around and looked up at
    him. He said, "Hi Peter, what's happening?" To which I replied, "F*ck
    off Gates, Can't you see I'm in a meeting".

    That same scenario used to be told about Frank Sinatra. I think Gates is safer. Did you really do that, or are you just pulling us?

    Bill, it's an old joke... He didn't really do this; hell, he wasn't in Seattle any time recently, either... i've heard this joke with other celebrity's names in place of Gates... There was even a beer commercial with a celebrity in it that went exactly along the lines of this joke...

    Come on people...its in the first line.

    When do you think the last time Mr. Gates was in any VIP lounge? He drives onto the tramac and is in his plane whilst you sip your congnac from the VIP lounge.
