Hot Shot Executive

A young businessman had just started his own firm. He'd rented
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."
