A young businessman had just started his own firm. He rented a beautiful
office and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting there, he saw a man
come into the outer office. Wishing to appear the hot shot, the
businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal
working.
He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, ""Can I help you?""
The man said, ""Yeah, I've come to activate your phone lines."
