There was a young man, Jim, who was going to dinner with a prospective
employer.  He was very nervous, as the interview was his first, and the
company that he was interviewing with was quite large.  They had been
impressed with his resume' - tonight he was having dinner with "THE BOSS".

As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, Jim had to immediately excuse
himself to go to the bathroom.  While he was 'taking care of business',
he noticed that the gentleman standing next to him was Gerald Ford!

Well, this just made him even more nervous...  soon Mr. Ford noticed
that Jim was having problems, and asked why he was so nervous.  Jim
explained the situation, while the ex-president nodded understandingly.
Finally, Mr. Ford suggested that perhaps he could drop by Jims' dinner
table, just to say "Hi!".  Jim was ecstatic.  He profusely thanked
Mr. Ford, and returned to his table.  He was talking and eating with his
boss when, true to his word, Mr. Ford walked up. "Jim," he said, "how are you?
Long time no see!".  Jim looked up and said,



























"Leave me alone Jerry, can't you see I'm eating?"
