The ultimate power lunch consisted of Bill Gates (chairman of Microsoft), Andrew Grove (chairman of Intel) and John Sweeney (head of the AFL-CIO), 2 high tech guys, and 1 low tech one.

Part way through the lunch, Gates' beeper goes off. Gates puts his right cufflink in his ear and starts talking into his watch. Grove and Sweeney just stare at him. Gates looks at them and says "This is an experimental cellular phone. My cufflink contains a speaker, and my watch has a mike in it."

About 15 minutes later, Grove's beeper goes off. Not to be outdone by a software guy, he starts talking into thin air. Gates and Sweeney just stare at him. Grovesays "This is OUR experimental phone. The speaker is implanted in my eardrum, and the mike is in this cap on my front tooth."

Sweeney figures he's going to show up these 2 high-tech whippersnappers. About 5 minutes later, he shifts his weight and fires off a monster fart. Grove and Gates drop their forks and just stare at him. A couple of seconds later, the stench hits them, and it was awful. It makes the paint peel off the walls, and Gates and Grove both start to gag from the horrible smell. Sweeney calmly looks at them and says "Could either of you gentlemen spare a piece of toilet paper? I'm receiving a fax!"
