Last week I was doing some servcie work at one of my customers and noticed
that the place looked
unusually clean. When I asked what was going on...they said : Bill Gates is
comming today.

Wow! I was really impressed until i found out that "Bill Gates" was simply
the owner of the company
and not *the* Bill Gates. Heck, this poor slob was only worth a few hundred
million dollars.

Anyway...as they passed by I nodded at the guy and he nodded back...
so in a way I can say that I met Bill Gates !

How about this then:-

My wife's step mother was in Antigua meeting her friend from 60 years
back. They were sat together on a wall by some beach. They wanted a
photo together so they asked this chap walking by to take their snap.
He did!

That evening they noticed the same man boarding a small boat to go to
a big luxury yacht. She asked who the man was and was told "that's Mr
Gates going back to his yacht".

The photo, now stuck on her kitchen wall, says "Photography By Bill
Gates".

re small boat back to the yacht.

Once on the beach in either Isla de Mujeres or Cozumel, I forget which,
someone took a small boat back to a nice boat offshore, which had a
helipad which helicopter allegedly took them to an even larger boat
somewhere else up the coast.

I hate those gnarly little transportation logistics inconveniences.

Beam me to the big boat, Scotty.


It was Isla.

If I threw a pie at him I would probably have lost my job!

Maybe I should have thrown one !
