This was forwarded to me today and I just had to share it. This guy truly knows how to impress a client.

I was in the airport VIP lounge en route to Seattle a couple of weeks
ago. 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 a straightforward 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’m waiting on a very important client. Would you be so kind when she
arrives as to come walk by and just say, ‘Hi, Ray,’?”
“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, Ray,” he said.
I replied, “Fuck off, Gates, I’m in a meeting.”

In spite of the fact Gates would never be in the VIP lounge of an airport, It’s pretty damn funny!
Well done! I’ll have to remember this for when my daughter starts thinking this way–hopefully I have some time yet!
It goes fast, you don’t have as much time as you think! 😉

Hmm. Interesting discussion as I, myself, was married with offspring by the age of 21.
Would I do it again? Prolly.
From a purely female perspective, having children in your twenties is waaaaay easier on your body physically in your twenties then it is in your thirties.
But I won’t lie to you. If either of my children wanted to get married at the same age I was, I’d likely trot out your argument just to see if I could get them to wait for a bit.
I don’t know if your perspective is a purely male one, it sure is an interesting one.
And that’s the best I can do on two hours of sleep after a night out with the boys, indulging in a few hours of “You Time” for myself.
