Then there's the one about . . . Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Steve Jobs and Craig McCaw are playing golf. With major-league egos involved, no one wants to be shown up, especially when it comes to technology.
A phone rings and Craig McCaw quickly reaches into his pocket, pulls out a tiny phone and answers what must have been an important call.
A few minutes later, Ted Turner stops in mid swing, puts an earpiece in his ear and starts speaking into his wristwatch about a megadeal going on somewhere.
Only a few moments later, Steve Jobs simply begins speaking and listening, all the while continuing to play. "Latest thing - an implant in my jaw. Don't even have to interrupt my game!"
But on the next tee, Gates suddenly drops his driver, steps over to his bag, takes out a roll of toilet paper, drops his pants and squats down; "This'll only take a minute - I have a fax coming in." |
