Microsoft TOO!

That wooly-headed Brit, Richard Branson came into my
office with a proposal!
It seems that he has got the big-head ever since he
won the x-prize award for being the first non-
government Corporation to put a man in space last
year. He started showing me charts, models, drawings,
graphs, financial analysis, .... he was all excited, arms
flailing, spitting when he talked, he said;
"Steve, I can get tourist into space! My only problem is
that when you're up there for a few hours everybody
starts puking! It gets rather unpleasant right quick you
know?"
He then whips out more models, sketches, charts, ...
he rambles on and on for about an hour, then he
jumped up on my desk,
"What we need is for you guys to finance the Space
Hotel! We will get them up there, you house them, we
will clean up I tell you!"

I just leaned back in my Bunker-chair and said, "Sorry
Dick, we already have plans of our own!" He was
shocked, "we have been working on very similar plans
for a few years now, they don't include you people." I
stood and shook his hand, "could you please get all of
this crap out of my office, I have a 5 o'clock
appointment."
I waved goodbye as he loaded the "proton engine"
model into the elevator, he looked pissed! I barely
could restrain the laughter.

Of course I lied about having plans of my own, but I do
now!
