The Friendly Politician

As a popular local politician, I always try to help out whenever I can. So that’s how it came to be that when a fellow came up to me in a hotel lobby the other day and asked me for a small favour I was more than happy to oblige. “Hi,” said the fellow, introducing himself as Bob Smith. “I’m having a very important business meeting in a few minutes, and it’s very important that I impress them. If you can just come over during our meeting and say hello, I would be forever indebted to you!”

So that’s how a few minutes later, I found myself walking over to the fellow with a big smile on my face, I said, “Hi Bob!” I barely got the words out of my mouth when Bob looked up with an annoyed expression, “Don’t bother me now Chris. Can’t you see I’m in the middle of an important meeting?”
