George W. Bush is sitting in a hotel lobby, planning his speech to a
group of businessmen, when a little man walks up to him. "Excuse me,
Mr. Bush, but my name is Steve Case, and I'm here with an extremely
important client tonight. We're going to see your speech tonight, and
it would be a great help to me if, when we walk by, you could impress
him by saying, 'Hello, Steve'."
Bush readily agrees, and fifteen minutes later, the little man walks
by, deep in conversation with his client.
Bush came up and said, "Hello, Steve."
The little man says, "Buzz off, Bush! I'm in a meeting," and keeps
walking.
