Morris (the father) says to his son:“I want you to marry a girl of my choice.”

The son says: I will choose my own bride.”

Morris says:“But the girl is Bill Gates’daughter.”

The son answers:“Well, in that case, yes ok.”

Morris then approaches Bill Gates and says:“I have a husband for your daughter.”

Bill Gates answers:“But my daughter is not ready to get married!”

Morris says:“But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank.”

Bill Gates answers:“Ah, in that case, yes ok.”

Finally Morris goes to see the president of the World Bank.

Morris says: I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president.”

The president answers:“But I already have more vice-presidents than I need.”

Morris says:“But this young man is Bill Gates’son-in-law.”

The President answers: “Ah, in that case, yes ok.”

And that is how successful business is done. [source: http://hayley-woo.blogspot.com]
